Notes:	Asserts that waged work is important to the autonomy and self-respect of women, especially battered women. Analyses the consequences of battering and traumatic stress in the lives of 122 women enrolled in an American job readiness programme, to their ability to successfully complete the transition from welfare to work. Concludes that examining the presence of battering helps to explain the programme outcomes, few women find work as result of this program due to their limited employment options, and that the women face enormous pressure to complete the programme despite the complexities of personal circumstance. Argues that battering is an obstacle to welfare to work transition.
