Founded on 20 years of experience in women's shelters and sexual assault centers, this striking overview addresses the oppressive hierarchies and abuses of authority witnessed in these settings. From the separation between clients and management to an executive director misusing power, this study shows how the most egalitarian, community-based, healthy, and peaceful group of women can be destroyed by an agency managed according to male, corporate principles. Searching for answers to these issues, this shocking survey is a heartbreaking reminder of the burden many women still carry, even within the walls of established sanctuaries.
