Description
St. Paul is home to what’s considered the first shelter for survivors of domestic violence in the nation. It started when a group of volunteers in a legal office were taking calls from women seeking advice about divorce and changing their names. Shelley Cline worked with the founders of the organization back in the 1980s. Holly Henning is the current Executive Director of Women’s Advocates and they both joined Minnesota Now to talk about the growth of the organization.
