9 Hard Lives, Mean Streets: Violent Victimization Among Homeless Women Living in Florida Homelessness can be the adaptive response of women to battering or other abusive situations and there is reason to believe that the cycle of violence and the cycle of homelessness are the same cycle for at least some women.

10 Box Office (407) OF THEE I SING UCF Main Stage October 12 October 22 The first musical to win the Pulitzer Prize This all-american political satire focuses on the election campaign and Presidency of John P. Watergreen, whose party, lacking a viable platform, runs on love, promising that if elected he will marry the partner chosen for him at an Atlantic City beauty pageant. When he falls for the wrong woman, trouble begins! With politicians skewered right and left, Of Thee I Sing is an hilarious and timeless send-up of national institutions that is as relevant now as ever.
