  • Black Widows: Battered Mothers Who Kill
    Black Widows: Battered Mothers Who Kill Jay Berta Klyman Submitted under the supervision of Rebecca Shlafer-Nealy to the University Honors Program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science magna cum laude in Authentic Community Engagement. May 12, 2016 Summary The following paper examines battered mothers who kill their abusers. Through estimation, we find that this population is made up of 16,000 women who are presently incarcerated in the United States. Research examines the cases of Artiesha Love and Natalie Pollard, two mothers in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area who allegedly murdered their abusers. Through media analysis of over 15 sources, it is clear that the media lacks an understanding of domestic violence in the cases of battered mothers who kill. Turning to existing research, it is clear that very little research has been done around the role of motherhood. Of the literature examined, no previous research has done to make sense of how motherhood might affect a woman’s decision to kill or not kill her abuser. There is hope when it comes to case studies such as the Sin by Silence bills and documentary in California, and the #SayHerName component of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The issue of battered mothers who kill their abusers intersects with police brutality, racial disparities, and the criminalization of people of color and the movement to end domestic violence. Introduction Our cultural narrative in the United States around domestic violence brings to mind a woman and her children, bruised and bloodied sitting in a battered women’s shelter.

Elizabeth Koepping* Underlying this essay is the issue of contextualisation and inculturation in every context and every country of this world, whether the self- actualising, blessed-by-wealth-and-happiness congregations of the meritocratic American Mid-West or the various congregations here discussed. An intentional, elite-controlled contextualisation easily risks the retrospective worship of culture. Where this includes unequal relationships between men and women, it sanctifies a profound and even salvific difference between males and females. Wives, be subject to your husband as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife. (Eph, 5: 22-23) I hate divorce, says the Lord the God of Israel, and covering one s garment with violence. (Mal, 2:16) She is Senior Lecturer in World Christianity and Religious Studies at the University of Edinburgh, and also Associate Director of the Centre for the Study of World Chrisitianity there. Trained in social anthropology as well as theology, she has taught at universities in Australia and Germany, given workshops and lectures in many countries, including Myanmar, India and Korea, and does long-term research in Malaysia and South Australia. In 2011 Routledge published her four-volume set of readers in World Christianity. She is writing a textbook on World Christianity, also for Routledge, completing a four-year study on domestic violence among Christians across the world, and contributes to the Scottish Episcopal Church as a priest.

Lee, CCWF received the latest edition of Fire Inside (Spring/Summer 2012). As always, the photos are what I look for first- to old friends or faces without names. I’m so happy to see them on the outside. Mary Campbell, we Ilove you always. On page 10 is a picture of Patricia (Breezy) Wright. In a few weeks she will lose her second breast to cancer. Due to her LWOP sentence, she doesn’t qualify for a compassionate release. CDCR is taking one body part at a time in their attempt to insure she serves her life sentence. They should let her die at home. There are many concerns here at CCWF. We now have: pregnant women on grounds; convicted sexual predators in general population; still 6 to 8 people in a lot of rooms; and lock-downs due to lack of staff. We lost our main yard, hobby craft, pottery class, half of our academic classrooms and half of our vocational classes. They took away our July 4th BBQ and half the food we were used to receiving. This was our best meal of the whole year. They close our little yards now by 2pm-one hour earlier. The only way to use the law library or recreational library on Saturdays is by sign-ups. This greatly limits our access to services and books.
