Starton made this list to show how, historically, women have suffered for the selfishness of men.
With this list, Starton wants to demonstrate through historical aspects the evolution of gender violence, outlining the way in which the woman was viewed socially under a patriarchal bias. In addition, it seeks to highlight the longevity of the oppression suffered by women over the years, in which it was seen as natural and legitimized through a social standard imposed through the family and conjugal bosom by patriarchalism.
