Origin Stories from the Movements to End Domestic Violence is a two-volume series highlighting the unique narratives and pioneering work of multiple movements addressing domestic violence in the United States. The series spotlights the lived experiences and efforts of individuals and groups who have been pivotal in advancing movements to challenge and reshape societal norms, laws, care practices, and policy.

Volume 1: Individual Stories, showcases the courageous works of survivors and changemakers whose efforts significantly impacted the movements. Real-world stories, from various sectors, expose readers to diverse perspectives and strategies. Volume 2: Macro-Level Stories centers on stories and strategies that produce change at the community, state, and national levels.

Individually or as a set, both volumes are ideal for courses exploring social work, gender studies, public policy, and legal studies. These books are part of the Cognella Series on Family and Gender-Based Violence, an interdisciplinary collection of textbooks featuring cross-cultural perspectives, cutting-edge strategies and interventions, and timely research on family and gender-based violence.
