A Tribute to Susan Schechter

The Visions and Struggles of the Battered Women’s Movement

University of Missouri-Columbia, danisf{at}missouri.edu

The battered women’s movement lost a great leader and visionary when Susan Schechter died of endrometrial cancer in 2004. Schechter’s legacy reminds advocates for battered women of how efforts to develop safe places for battered women began, the context of those times, how far we have come, and how far we still have to go. Her pioneering work in the area of the overlap between child maltreatment and adult domestic violence and services to children who are exposed to domestic violence has left the social work profession with a challenging agenda that must be met to create safety for all women and children

Key Words: battered women’s movement • children exposed to domestic violence • domestic violence • the Greenbook Initiative
