'In her quest to achieve some semblance of justice in the world and in her own life, abuse survivor Rachael Kay Albers angrily sought refuge in feminism.

"I was becoming an angry, militant activist, simply participating in and replicating the greater cycle of violence," Kay Albers said. "As I began to recognize some of my own abuser's characteristics in myself, he turned from abuser to human. I started looking at these issues from a place of empathy and compassion."
