Notes:	Outlines the methodology and results of a US study aimed at investigating whether women's work in any way precipitates or aggravates battering and/or its consequences. The question was approached by seeking women's subjective assessments of the impact work had or has on battering and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. The results suggest that working can precipitate and/or aggravate domestic violence, in the sense that violence is used as an instrument for regaining control over and/or sabotaging the victim's life. The ramifications of this link for the victims, in terms of wage and hours worked, are also discussed. Recommendations for future research and policy development are made on this basis.
