Lenore Walker's "The Battered Woman" is a seminal work in the field of domestic violence. Published in 1979, it introduced the concept of "battered woman syndrome," a pattern of psychological and behavioral responses in women subjected to long-term abuse. The book details the cycle of violence, the psychological effects of abuse, and the challenges faced by victims in escaping abusive relationships. It significantly influenced legal and social perspectives on domestic violence, leading to increased awareness and advocacy for victims. Walker's research and writing helped to shape the understanding of domestic violence as a complex issue with lasting psychological consequences. The book remains a crucial resource for professionals and advocates working to address domestic violence.
