| Notes: | This article examines the role of narratives, or women’s stories about experiencing domestic violence, in the legal system specifically considering women’s reports of using violence in self-defense. The author then compares social and criminal justice attitudes about victims of domestic violence with women’s narratives, examining the discrepancies and impact for women both personally and legally. |
