It was 1869 and Sarah Moses, with "a very black eye," told her father: The world will never know what trouble I have seen. What she had seen was violence at the hands of her husband. Does the world know any more of such things today than it did in Sarah's time? Sarah, it so happens, l...

520 |a It was 1869 and Sarah Moses, with "a very black eye," told her father: The world will never know what trouble I have seen. What she had seen was violence at the hands of her husband. Does the world know any more of such things today than it did in Sarah's time? Sarah, it so happens, lived in Oregon, that Edenic state on the Pacific Coast, and it is here that David Peterson del Mar centers his history of violence against wives. What causes such violence? Has it changed over time? How does it relate to the state of society as a whole? And how have women tried to stop it, resist it, escape it? These are the questions Peterson del Mar pursues, and the answers he finds are as fascinating as they are disturbing. 
520 8 |a Thousands of thickly documented divorce cases from the Oregon circuit courts let us listen to the voices of women and men, family members and neighbors, who often go unheard. These are the people who did not keep diaries or leave autobiographies, who sometimes could not write at all. Here they speak of a society that quietly condoned wife beating until the spread of an ethos of self-restraint in the late nineteenth century. And then, Peterson del Mar finds, the practice increased with a vengeance with the florescence of expressive individualism during the twentieth century.
