This book outlines the establishment and 30 years of growth of a local women's refuge in Palmerston North, New Zealand. The author provides a chronological history of the organisation by drawing on interviews with women who had worked in, or been involved with, the refuge, as well as archive material and media reports. The author discusses the feminist philosophies of the refuge movement in New Zealand, the process of implementing parallel development for Maori and Tauiwi at a local and national level, service development, and the social context of domestic violence prevention work from the 1970s to 2000.
