Why Don't These Women Just Leave (by Elaine Weiss)

 Why Don't These Women Just Leave, written by Elaine Weiss, is a fascinating read indeed. Her abuse story could not have been described any more clearly; it is a perfect representation of what is happening in the world today. Elaine discusses this issue directly and compellingly, drawing on her own sad experience as an abused wife. Her essay debunks the popular idea that the problem can be solved if the abused partner just leaves the relationship. I totally concur.

She writes from personal experience and I believe that some of the advice in this essay would be accepted by young ladies.
