'Trivial Complaints' The Role of Privacy in Domestic Violence Law And activism in the U.S
'Trivial Complaints' explores the
historical relationship between privacy and domestic violence through an
analysis of litigation and activism. Kirsten S. Rambo begins with an analysis of
courts' and activists' responses to domestic violence during the late nineteenth
century and continues through to the late twentieth century, when the modern
battered women's movement emerged on the heels of the battle to secure abortion
rights. Rambo explores the seemingly contradictory yet often complementary ways
in which the discourse of privacy has been shaped by both movements seeking
justice for women. She further examines concepts of privacy as applied to
same-sex relationships and domestic violence, and ultimately considers
alternative models of privacy that are egalitarian and rooted in empowerment.
