Wife Beating: Counselor Training Manual #2, 1976
The Wife Assault Task Force of the Ann Arbor chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) originated in 1975. The task force incorporated as the NOW Domestic Violence Project in 1976, an organization with more than 30 volunteers who provided women who were battered with a variety of services. This training manual helped educate volunteers who came in direct contact with women who were battered and in crisis. Wife Beating is an example of how feminists educated themselves and others about a complex and dangerous social problem, with the aim to create positive change.
