Abstract

This is a book review of the title 'Surviving Domestic Violence: Gender, Poverty and Agency' By Paula Wilcox Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan , 2006 . ISBN 1-403941130

In Surviving Domestic Violence: Gender, Poverty and Agency, Paula Wilcox explores the constraints of gender, domestic violence and poverty in women's lives.
