Event Description:
Confronting Violence: Improving Women’s Lives/Enfrentando la Violencia: Mejorando la Vida de las Mujeres is a dual-language traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine. Activists and reformers in the United States have long recognized the harm of domestic violence and sought to improve the lives of women who were battered. Beginning in the late 1970s, nurses pushed the larger medical community to identify victims, adequately respond to their needs, and work towards the prevention of domestic violence. This is their story. Peninsula College at Forks, 481 S. Forks Ave.: September 25 – October 13. Port Angeles Main Library, October 16 – November 4.
