Overwhelmingly, it is women who are the victims of domestic
violence and this book puts women's experiences of domestic
violence at its centre, whilst acknowledging their many diverse and
complex identities. Concentrating on the various forms of domestic
abuse and its occurrence and manifestations within different
contexts, it argues that gender is centrally implicated in the
unique factors that shape violence across all these areas.
Individual chapters outline the experiences of: Mothers Older women
Women with religious affiliations Refugee women Rural women
Aboriginal women Women in same-sex relationships Women with
intellectual disabilities. Exploring how domestic violence across
varying contexts impacts on different women's experiences and
understandings of abuse, this innovative work draws on
post-structural feminist theory and how these ideas view, and
potentially allow, gendered explanations of domestic violence.
Domestic Violence in Diverse Contexts is suitable for academics and
researchers interested in issues around violence and gender.
