Notes:	Explores the relationship between Filipino women’s experiences of violence and the media’s construction of that violence from a feminist point of view. The study is based on the analysis of four Australian media texts, interviews with two Filipino women who were abused by a non-Filipino partner, and the murder case of Rosalina Canonizado. It is argued that Filipino women are inaccurately constructed in media discourses of gender, race and class, and their experiences of violence are misrepresented. ‘Mail order bride’ stereotypes and discourses of orientalism and culturalism assist in locating the explanation of the violence within the women themselves and provide little insight into the complexity of the issue.
