A series of powerful images taken by photographer and activist Donna Ferrato during the decade she spent with victims of domestic violence can be seen in the Grossman Gallery exhibition, Focus II. These images appear in her 1991 book, Living With the Enemy.

 

Her experiences with victims, their families, and police led to a career as an advocate for battered women, and changed how abuse is viewed and how it is treated by doctors and law enforcement officers. In a 2011 “Lens” blog post in the New York Times, Living With the Enemy is described as "...the rarest of photographic  projects: one that has significantly affected the problems it documents, helping to change laws and establish and finance domestic violence shelters throughout the country.”
