Violent Femmes

At work we got in a new domestic violence booklet from the state. I read through it looking for a mention of female violence. I didn't see it.
That's too bad. The first film I saw in school on the subject way back when had both men and women perpetrating the violence. Something changed over the years, however, and there's little mention of what women can get up to when they have a mind to it. That is, unless their violence is being portrayed as heroic.
I'm sure the man is most often the abuser. But there are women out there who also do some dishing out. Here are some of the stories.

I'm serializing my novel, "Friends to the End," which is about a male victim of domestic violence as a fundraiser for the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men. This is at the DesertLight Journal. Maybe your readers would care to have a look!
