Activists and reformers in the United States have long recognized the harm of domestic violence and sought to improve the lives of women who were battered. Beginning in the late 1970s, nurses were in the vanguard as they pushed the larger medical community to identify victims, adequately respond to their needs, and work towards the prevention of domestic violence. Confronting Violence, Improving Women’s Lives, the English-only counterpart to the bilingual exhibition, explores the developments during latter half of the 20th century, when nurses took up the call.
Confronting Violence is a display of six roll-up graphic banners. For more information, join the NLM Traveling Exhibitions listserv.
