Nancy Janovicek focuses on women's groups in small cities and rural communities, examining anti-violence activism in Thunder Bay, Kenora, Nelson, and Moncton. She also pays close attention to Aboriginal women in northwestern Ontario, where the connections between family violence and the devaluation of indigenous culture in Canadian society complicated effots to end domestic violence. This book lays bare the aims and challenges of establishing women's shelters in non-urban areas. The local histories presented here show how transition houses became hubs in a larger movement to change attitudes about domestic violence and to lobby for legislation to protect women.Women's sheltersCanadaHistoryAbused womenServices forCanadaHistoryRural womenServices forCanadaHistoryIndigenous womenServices forCanadaHistoryWomen's sheltersCanadaCase studiesFeminismCanadaWomen's rightsCanadaMaisons d'hébergement pour femmesCanadaHistoireFemmes victimes de violence, Services auxCanadaHistoireFemmes en milieu rural, Services auxCanadaHistoireFemmes autochtones, Services auxCanadaHistoireMaisons d'hébergement pour femmesCanadaCas, Études deFéminismeCanadaFemmesDroitsCanadaWomen's sheltersHistory.Abused womenServices forHistory.Rural womenServices forHistory.Indigenous womenServices forHistory.Women's sheltersFeminismWomen's rightsMaisons d'hébergement pour femmesHistoire.Femmes victimes de violence, Services auxHistoire.Femmes en milieu rural, Services auxHistoire.Femmes autochtones, Services auxHistoire.Maisons d'hébergement pour femmesFéminismeFemmesDroits362.82/92830971Janoviček Nancy1968-1523730MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780519703321No place to go3764033UNINA
