A Toronto Star article describes the newly opened Interval House to readers, but neglects to mention that the shelter’s purpose is to help women and their children escape domestic abuse. The article introduces Interval House as “a women’s liberation project, has just opened in Toronto as a refuge for women who are leaving their husbands or have been deserted or have arrived here with no plans.”
