Schneider, Battered Women and Feminist Lawmaking (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2000)	2001	8	.pdf	application/pdf	3414	125	44	Nearly 1.9 million women are battered each year in the United States' and approximately sixty percent of all women murdered are killed by a present or former intimate partner.2 While there have been important advances in legal remedies for battered women over the past twenty years, including federal legislation such as the Violence Against Women Act and state laws specifically addressing domestic violence, there remain many obstacles-legal and social-which battered women, their advocates and attorneys, and legal scholars must confront. Columbia Journal of Gender and Law promotes the equal rights of women in the legal and political arenas, is essential to eradicating domestic violence, she acknowledges that rights- based legal arguments made within the courtroom and legislature are not enough to protect battered women.	cache/cjgl-2435.pdf	txt/cjgl-2435.txt
