SUMMARY:LIVE - BETRAYED: Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday July 15\, 2025 – 5pm – LIVE – BETRAYED: Violence Against Women \nCentral Free Library\, Skyline Room (4th Floor)\, 901 Vine Street \nFeaturing Meg Groff\, author of Not If I Can Help It: A Family Lawyer’s Battles for Justice for Victims of Domestic Violence and the Poor ($22.95\, Rivertowns Books) \nIn a rare\, starred review\, Kirkus Reviews says:  “The cases she recounts range from harrowing to infuriating: The police shrugged away potential murders as suicides\, children were left unsupervised with dangerous fathers with devastating results\, doctors assumed that struggling young mothers must be alcoholics. Each episode carries a tremendous punch\, as well as a searing lesson about the failings of society to help those in need. . . . Despite such heavy details and subject matter\, Groff balances her book with warmth and humor.” Books will be available.
