Subject: RE: Songs Re Violence/Abuse to Women
'Steady As She Goes' by Brian McNeill is about a woman finally leaving an abusive relationship. Recorded on 'No Gods' (1995).

'Montreal, December '89' by Judy Small is about a mass murder of women at the University of Montreal in December '89. It asks 'Why is it always men who resort to the gun, the sword and the fist?' Recorded on 'Snapshot' (1990).

'Crying Inside' by Heather Jones and Liz Fordek also highlights the plight of battered women, though personally I find it rather a tear-jerker. Recorded on 'Valley Lights' (1986), a sampler of Welsh songwriting.
