Barbara Hope Langdon was a leading advocate for victims of domestic violence for nearly 20 years. In 1991, she became the Executive Director of House of Ruth, a Claremont-based organization that supports abused women and children by providing shelter, counseling, intervention, and educational programs. Under Barbara’s leadership, what began as a hotline in a family’s kitchen evolved into a comprehensive network of services across the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. Today, House of Ruth assists tens of thousands of Angelenos each year.
