She advertised in literary journals and newsletters, asking for autobiographical writings by women who survived any kind of violence and abuse.

Download or read book The Civil Action for Sexual Battery written by Bruce Feldthusen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, victims of rape, sexual exploitation, incest, and other child sexual abuse are seeking legal relief from the civil justice system. The plaintiffs in these sexual battery tort actions are almost always women, the majority of whom were battered when they were children. The defendants were always men, and men who knew their victims prior to the battery. Judgement has been given for the plaintiff in every case except one, but the defendants are frequently judgement-proof. It appears that personal, non-pecuniary goals account for as much or more sexual battery litigation than does the prospect of monetary damages.This article employs the emerging perspective of therapeutic jurisprudence to explore whether civil litigation might assist in the sexual battery victim's psychological recovery, as many such plaintiffs appear to expect it will. Section II outlines the potentially greater therapeutic benefits of tort compared to criminal prosecution. These derive mostly from the formal equality of tort law, and the relatively greater degree of victim control that it affords. These theoretical advantages are assessed with reference to what little relevant empirical and clinical literature exists. Section III considers more specifically the therapeutic implications of a civil suit deepening on whether it follows a criminal conviction, criminal acquittal, or no criminal action at all.The decided cases are too new, too few, and probably too unrepresentative, to support any firm conclusions about the therapeutic benefits of the sexual battery action. This article attempts instead to isolate specific issues for further consideration and empirical study. Research of that sort will enlighten us as much about tort law generally as about sexual battery in particular.

Download or read book Rivers of Light written by Miriam Kalman Friedman and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in a conservative, middle-class family in Texas, Claire Myers Owens sought adventure and freedom at an early age. At twenty years old, she left home and quickly found a community of like-minded free spirits and intellectuals in New York’s Greenwich Village. There Owens wrote novels and short stories, including the controversial novel The Unpredictable Adventure: A Comedy of Woman’s Independence, which was banned by the New York Public Library for its “risqué” content. Drawn to ideals of selfactualization and creative freedom, Owens became a key figure in the Human Potential Movement along with founder Abraham Maslow and Aldous Huxley, and became an ardent follower of Carl Jung. In her later years, Owens devoted her life to the practice of Zen Buddhism, moving to Rochester, NY, where she joined the Zen Center and studied under Roshi Philip Kapleau. She published her final book, Zen and the Lady, at the age of eighty-three. Friedman’s rediscovery of Owens brings well-deserved attention to her little known yet extraordinary life and passionate spirit. Drawing upon autobiographies, letters, journals, and novels, Friedman chronicles Owens’s robust intellect and her tumultuous private life and, along the way, shows readers what makes her story significant. With very few role models in the early twentieth century, Owens blazed her own path of independence and enlightenment.
