Honestly, if I want to see the Victim/Abused Child/etc. thing, I'll read a Mercedes Lackey book. Or, hell, if I really want to get mired, I'll re-read Gael Baudino's Shroud of Shadow--damn book doesn't even have a fucking payoff for all the shit in it.

*splorfle* Oh, God, I love you even more now. *dies* Seriously, those were my Teenage Fangirl Emo Goddess Feminist Angst Tomes. (I'm tempted to add a "Womyn" in there, but I think I'd vomit.)
