In the Company of Women explains how indirect, or "relational," aggression can hurt women and hinder them from achieving success and harmony in their adult lives. Gender studies have shown that when a goal is in sight, men generally use direct action to attain it. Women, on the other hand, have been socialized to express aggressive actions through indirect means-using behavior such as shunning, stigmatizing, and With startling insights into the meaning of our everyday behavior, this book offers straightforward techniques to change conflict among women into cooperation by resolving discords peaceably, building relationships, and making the most of women's unique leadership and communication skills.

Shunryu Suzuki Roshi founded the San Francisco Zen Center in 1962,
and after fifty years we have seen a fine group of Zen masters
trained in the west take up the mantle and extend the practice of
Zen in ways that might have been hard to imagine in those first
early years. Susan Murphy, one of Robert Aitken's students and
dharma heirs, is one of the finest in this group of young Zen
teachers. She is also a fine writer, and following on the teaching
of her Roshi she has engaged her spiritual work in the ordinary
world, dealing with the practice of daily life and with the
struggles of all beings.
We know that our earth is in crisis, but is the situation beyond
repair? Are we on a path of planetary disaster where the only
proper response is to prepare for our melancholic dystopian future?
Is there a way out of our suspicious cynicism?
In the tradition of Thomas Berry, using this spiritual opportunity
to change the very nature of our crisis, Susan Murphy offers a
profound message, subtly presented with clarity and assurance,
showing that engaged Buddhism provides a possible path to the
necessary repair and healing.

Thousands of women are abused, battered, stalked, and killed by
their husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and partners every year. While
the O. J. Simpson trial raised domestic abuse to the forefront of
public consciousness, no one has offered women concrete advice on
how to protect themselves and get safely away from their abusers.
In Defending Our Lives, Susan Murphy-Milano, the founder of
Project: Protect, presents the first comprehensive guide to the
options available to battered women as well as to the family and
friends who want to help them. With detailed, practical
information, Murphy-Milano guides women through the process of
protecting themselves from domestic violence and stalking. She
explains what domestic violence is, how to deal with the police and
enlist their help, how to make the decision to leave, what steps to
take during the actual move, how to secure one's home after leaving
an abuser, how to navigate the legal system, how to ensure the
safety of one's children, and how to defend against stalking.
Family and friends can be crucial in this process, and throughout
the book Murphy-Milano suggests numerous ways in which they can
help. Defending Our Lives is a much-needed resource in the struggle
of millions of women to protect themselves from domestic violence
and stalking.
