Notes:

In 1975, Transition House opened the second battered women's shelter in the United States, and the first on the east coast. Two survivors of intimate partner violence opened their tiny apartment to homeless battered women. Within weeks, the floors of the apartment were covered with sleeping bags and mattresses. Understanding the enormous need for refuge for homeless battered women and children, these two women joined with other community activists in Cambridge to purchase a site for Transition House. Over the years, Transition House has sheltered over 5,000 battered women and children.
