Random Quote

The ways in which the intimate sphere of marriage has been melded with the dark purposes of state control in order to use women as slaves and servants make it impossible to view violence between a married woman and man as “private.” It is not private. It echoes throughout our world, throughout our schools and neighborhoods, and throughout history.
