Drawing on a wide range of sources, including court records, newspaper articles, and personal accounts, Elaine Tyler May provides a comprehensive and nuanced account of wife beating in America during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She shows how wife beating was a common and accepted practice, and how it was often justified by the belief that husbands had the right to discipline their wives.
May also explores the ways in which wife beating was resisted by women and by the state. She shows how women fought back against their abusers, and how they sought legal protection from the courts. She also shows how the state began to intervene in cases of wife beating, and how this intervention helped to reduce the incidence of this crime.
Spousal Abuse 1844-1920 is a powerful and important book that challenges the traditional view of wife beating as a private matter. May's work shows that wife beating is a serious crime that has a devastating impact on women and families. She also shows that wife beating can be prevented, and that we must work together to end this violence.
