Out of darkness : Rumana Monzur's journey through betrayal, tyranny and abuse / by Chong, Denise,author.;: "From the outside, Rumana seemed an unlikely victim of domestic abuse: well educated, married to a man of her own choosing, and progressing in her career as a professor of international relations at Dhaka University. But in 2011, on return from graduate studies at the University of British Columbia, her husband attacked and blinded her in front of their young daughter. As Rumana's horrifying story garnered international headlines, and connections brought her to Vancouver in an attempt -- ultimately futile -- to restore her sight, her plight underscored the fact that there are no typical victims of intimate-partner violence. Denise Chong goes behind the headlines to reveal the devolution of a love story into a tale of tyranny behind closed doors, and the pursuit of justice that proved all the more elusive during the rise of social media. Out of Darkness tells a globe-spanning narrative of loyalty, perseverance and a woman's determination to face the future and rebuild a life with meaning."--; Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.; Monzur, Rumana.; Abused wives; Family violence; Women social reformers; Women; Women; Women; Bangladeshi Canadians;
The women of Artemis / by Lynn, Hannah,author.;: "Mothers. Daughters. Warriors. Women. This is the never-before-told story of history's most ferocious heroines: this is the rise of the Amazons. When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership.

Rallying the women around her, Otrera fights back, taking no prisoners. Because it's clear to her: when men are in power, freedom isn't granted. It's bought with blood. It's a price she is more than willing to pay, if it means building a new life with other women far from the reaches of their abusers. But a community of women - an army of women - is bound to make enemies of gods and men alike. This is the story of Otrera and the first Amazons.
