Reply to comment by HauntedHovel in (TW: DV) What is with all the super popular contemporary novels featuring violence against women? by travelling_cirque
Yep. And it’s worth noting that all the novels listed by OP are written by women.
If this theme seems more prominent today than previously then perhaps it’s because the novels that get attention today are more likely to be written by women than those that were written in (say) the 1950s. But this has long been a notable theme in literature. I believe it’s fair to say that all three Brontë sisters wrote about domestic violence.
