Funny you should mention that. One of the big shockers I got out of Warren Farrell’s “The Myth of Male Power” was that until the writing of his book there were ZERO recorded incidences in this country of a woman killing her “abusive” husband without an insurance policy, illicit lover, or other financial support alternative.

Makes sense to me. In a situation where there is no insurance or assets, where there is no value in the "abusive" husband being dead, a woman who doesn't like the relationship could just walk away.
