The historical background of domestic violence dates back 753 B.C., in Rome, where wife beating was accepted and allowed due to the laws placed during this time of age. According to the information “ These laws permitted the husband to beat his wife with a rod or switch as long as its circumference was no greater than the girth of the base of the man's right thumb. This was the origin of the phase "Rule of Thumb."” Back then domestic violence was the start of a timeline that still goes on today. The difference between 753 B,C and now is the rule towards it, one was given as a law to hit your wife ( even though it’s still wrong) to just hitting a women against the law. In a way this was only started to start dominance towards women, yet at the same time it was done when ever. A statement in the article claims that " Some other offenses punishable by death were walking outside with her face uncovered or attending a public event without permission.” Something that can be easily avoided by giving the women a warning can turn into a instance death without a hesitation, even though these laws existed during the rome era we are lucky to have less strict laws and some justice to go with situation.

In the eyes of feminist domestic violence was a problem, yet at the same time it was fuel to their fire pushing them more forward, achieving their goal on bringing justice for women. In the article a statement said by one of the feminist leader was “ The way women look at themselves, the way other people look at women, is completely different...than it was thirty years ago...Our daughters grow up with the same possibilities as our sons."
