Written collectively over the years, Women's Advocates/The Story of a Shelter is a patchwork of the nuts and bolts, and politics and feelings of our shelter - one of the first domestic violence shelters in the U.S. It is the story of the many women who have lived and worked at Women's Advocates. We hope our story provides affirmation and some useful information to women working in shelters; and we would like the telling of this story to open up other opportunities for women to support one another and get what they want for themselves and their children.
