Reviews

""This is not a ‘neat’ book, in that the analysis suggests loose ends that cannot be tied up. But this is reflective of the extreme messiness of violence and conflict that make up the lives of many women, and for this it is refreshing and ultimately more convincing, and more useful in understanding the persistence of violence in women’s lives."" - Fenella Porter, Ruskin College, Oxford, UK
