highly recommended
This book is a treatment of how common law's concept of self-defense does not traditionally describe the method in which battered women who kill their abusers finally do the deed. Hence, it has been difficult for battered women to win cases with the defense of "justifiable homicide."

The author, founder of the Northwest Women's Law Center, puts forth her argument logically and forcefully, with extensive references. A must read for those interested in the legal defense of battered women who kill their abusers.
