Emilie's Burden: A Woman Struggles for her Rights

Before women's activist, Gloria Steinem, there was Emilie Funk. Emilie, a victim of an abusive marriage & controlling husband, ended up fighting for her rights against the US Assistant Attorney General & the Commissioner of the IRS in a struggle that would last five long years. Her battle would result in some of the earliest US laws protecting the rights of abused women. Her legal cases are discussed in law schools around the nation and have been used as case law in dozens of lawsuits in Federal Courts as well as the Supreme Court of the United States.This "amazing story & great book" was written by DJ Funk, Emilie's son and a former domestic violence counselor for RISE SLO. 1.
