But as we mourn her passing, it’s worth noting that Tina was also a model survivor of intimate partner violence.

Key Points: 
  • But as we mourn her passing, it’s worth noting that Tina was also a model survivor of intimate partner violence.
  • In 1981, following her split from husband Ike Turner, Tina Turner began to speak openly about the years of abuse she had endured during their marriage.
  • Turner is rightly held up as a trailblazer for speaking publicly about her experience of intimate partner violence.
  • What makes Turner’s escape inspiring is the many layers of threat she faced and resisted beyond physical violence.

A strong (and vulnerable) black woman

    • Research has repeatedly found that intersectional issues are faced by black women who speak out and seek support for abuse.
    • Intersectionality describes multiple challenges or disadvantages faced by an individual with overlapping social identities, such as being a black woman.
    • Speaking out publicly as a black woman was complex for Turner, and as other black women have expressed, her bravery and steadfastness has inspired many others to follow suit.

More than a survivor

    • In this regard, she is typical of a survivor of abuse, not an exception.
    • Stereotypes of abuse victims as weak and submissive often lead to popular coverage which assumes that victimhood dominates a survivor’s social identity.
    • What they mean as they discuss their circumstances is that they are so much more than the stereotypical “victim” of domestic abuse.

It was accessible to the masses, a fundamental staple of mainstream life and an indispensable part of the Roman economy and trade.

Key Points: 
  • It was accessible to the masses, a fundamental staple of mainstream life and an indispensable part of the Roman economy and trade.
  • Despite its centrality to the everyday life of the Romans, the ancient sources continuously attest it was a problematic drink when consumed by women.
  • One of the ways in which this control over women was codified was through their drinking practices.

Punishment for drinking

    • In the customary laws of early Rome, the discipline of female sobriety was instilled through punishment.
    • During the earliest periods of Rome’s history and up until the Middle Republican period, it was a socially sanctioned custom for husbands to punish their wives for drinking.
    • Many Ancient Roman sources speak of female drinking and adultery concurrently.

Acceptable drinking

    • Archaeological evidence attests to their drinking practices as far back as the ancient written sources state otherwise.
    • Certain types of wine, such as passum, a type of sweet raisin wine, were perhaps acceptable in the strict confines of gendered drinking parameters.
    • Yet even here drinking wine was shrouded in innuendo, invariably described as “milk” and carried in a “honey-pot”.

A socially acceptable drink

    • The male authors of these texts heavily mythologised the past, often to convey the inferred wickedness of their present day.
    • By the time of the transition from Republic to Empire (around the first century B.C.E), it was customary for women to drink wine.
    • Livia, wife of Emperor Augustus, is said to have credited her longevity to a wine varietal from Istria.
