| dc.description.notes | Through a case study of Nardine Women’s Refuge, Western Australia’s first feminist refuge, established in 1974, the author traces the pivotal role of the feminist movement in shaping contemporary Australian understandings of, and responses to, domestic violence. The book documents the work of Perth feminists in establishing and operating Nardine Women’s Refuge, which, in contrast to earlier shelters for women, emphasised self-help, collectivity and empowerment, rather than protection. By documenting the history of understandings about domestic violence prior to, and following, the activism of the women’s refuge movement, this book highlights the magnitude of the social change which was initiated. The later chapters trace the development of domestic violence policies at both the Western Australian and national level over the past 20 years, developments to which the women’s refuge movement has made a major and continuing contribution, through recognition that ‘more than refuge’ is required to eliminate domestic violence. | en |
