Nobody's victim: Sarah Buel left an abusive partner to save her life. Since then, she's been saving others
Article Abstract:
Sarah Buel, once a battered wife herself, is now a Massachusetts prosecutor working to prevent domestic violence and speaking nationwide on the subject. Buel graduated with honors from Harvard Law School in 1990 after a work history which included being a day-care worker and a paralegal. Her guidance counselor in high school told Buel she was not college material and several of her professors at Harvard discouraged her, telling her they did not find battered women and poverty law to be intellectually interesting. Buel has never been daunted and believes domestic violence will come to an end in her lifetime.
