The War on Women is a non-fiction book written by Brian Vallée that was published in 2007.
The book was inspired by the experience of Canadian country music promoter Elly Armour who contacted Brian Vallée years after her experience living with domestic abuse and her eventual decision to shoot her abusive husband, Vernon Ince.
[2] Armour's experience was very similar to that of Jane Hurshman who Vallée wrote about previously in Life with Billy.
The War on Women brings together the experience of Armour, Hurshman, and other survivors of domestic abuse.
The book also connects these individual cases of violence to larger societal problems around gender, class, and the Canadian legal system.
