‘Yo Mujer’: Woman Escapes from Abusive Marriage

For any woman who has ever confused abuse for love, for any woman trapped in an abusive relationship without the confidence to break free, Palmira Moncada-Wassermann offers up her new Spanish-language novel, “Yo Mujer” (published by AuthorHouse - http://www.authorhouse.com).

“Yo Mujer” is as much the inspirational story of one woman’s journey to freedom as it is a denunciation of the Latin male chauvinist. Moncada-Wassermann sets her sights on those self-important husbands, boyfriends and fathers who force Latin women to surrender their dignity by means of physical and verbal abuse.

The woman at the center of “Yo Mujer” is like so many other women who fall in love, only to watch their relationships fall apart when the men in their lives turn into monsters. This woman has four children with an abusive, unfaithful husband who has no interest in taking responsibility for his family. She struggles to accept her own worth, ultimately gaining control of her life and her family by leaving a man who did not deserve her love or devotion.

Moncada-Wassermann hopes that “Yo Mujer” will encourage Latin women to find the help necessary to escape abusive relationships and break the cycle of violence.
