This week the Resource Center is highlighting “Reframing the Narrative of the Battered Women’s Movement” in the current edition of Violence Against Women from Sage Publications. There has been a lot of conversation within the movement to end violence against women about the claim that the battered women’s movement has been co-opted and depoliticized. This article argues that this narrative of decline should be reframed as one of continual growth that has incorporated evolving feminist frameworks. It examines the movement’s first generation of activists’ ability to learn from its mistakes, while looking at a second generation of activists’ new ways of practicing intersectionality to conclude that each strand within the movement brings complementary strengths that can prepare it to meet future challenges. For more information, or a copy of the article, please contact Resource Center staff.
