I encourage you to learn about the story of Rosie Batty if you're looking at a contemporary example of a women actively challenging the way the Failed Mother archetype is applied to women who have survived family and and intimate partner violence.
Rosie's son Luke was murdered by his father in 2014. In the year's since Rosie has become a powerful advocate for the rights of woman and other victim's of family and intimate partner violence.
She was awarded Australian of the Year (the Highest non-military honour) in the country in 2015 for her work.
