FANCHIN, Ana T.. History of families: domestic violence in Colonial San Juan City. Aljaba [online]. 2009, vol.13. ISSN 1669-5704.

This article deals with one the so many facets of American colonial history, the domestic violence that recovers interest at present, perhaps, and very to our grief because it is a conduct that still lasts in many contexts of the today societies. Through analysis of criminal judgments in which the women were victims of masculine violence, it is considered on the gender asymmetry in a peripheral city in the last years of the colony.
