Runaway Wives and Rogue Feminists: The Origins of the Women's Shelter Movement in Canada
Margo Goodhand
In the supposedly enlightened ’60s and ’70s, violence against women didn’t make the news. It didn’t exist. Yet in 1973 — with no statistics, no money and little public support — five disparate groups of Canadian women quietly opened the country’s first battered women’s shelters. Today, there are well over 600.
