Martin S. Fiebert, at the Department of Psychology of California State University, Long Beach publishes an annotated bibliography currently numbering 133 scholarly
investigations including 107 empirical studies and 26 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners.

Erin Pizzey founded the first women’s shelter in 1971 in Chiswick, England, and can thus be considered the founder of the women’s movement. She and her staff observed that of the first 100 women coming into the refuge, 62 were as violent as the partners they had left.

Abstract: Sex Differences in Aggression Between Heterosexual
Partners:A Meta-Analytic Review
Archer, Josh (2000):
in APA Psychological Bulletin
"Meta-analyses of sex differences in physical aggression to heterosexual partners and in its physical consequences are reported. Women were slightly more likely (d = -.05) than men to use one or more act of physical aggression and to use such acts more frequently. Men were more likely (d = .15) to inflict an injury, and overall, 62% of those injured by a partner were women.
