Every three days in Germany a woman is killed by her (ex) partner - but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Barbara Peveling also writes about all the forms of domestic violence underlying that are closely linked to traditional gender roles, economic inequality, and the house as an intimate arena of dominance. She speaks as an affected person: she has experienced violence as a child between her parents and as an adult in her relationships. She shows that the structures of dominance harm everyone, including men like her father, who as a perpetrator ultimately directed violence against themselves. A stirring essay on the cycles of violence, about silence and shame, opposition and hope.
