Community Read: No Visible Bruises

The Scarsdale Public Library and the Scarsdale Edgemont Family Counseling Service's Safe Coalition encourage you to participate in a community book read about the origins and course of gender violence in our society. We invite you to join us for a virtual evening of conversation with Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises on Tuesday April 18 at 7 pm.

A compelling work of investigative journalism, No Visible Bruises, reveals that one of America’s most urgent social problems takes place behind closed doors, and that the most dangerous place for a woman, statistically, is her own home. Whether we call it domestic violence, private violence, or intimate terrorism, it has a far more pervasive impact on our society than many realize. Between 2000 and 2006, about 3,200 Americans were killed in combat. In that time, more than three times as many women were killed by their partners.

Intimate partner violence is not a private problem. Everyone has a stake in violence prevention.
