520 _aThis history thesis focuses on why a women's refuge was established in Dunedin during the 1970s. The thesis has two main intents: To focus upon the issue of domestic violence by documenting its occurrence as a problem; and to acknowledge a number of those (mostly) feminist women in the local Dunedin community who had the time, energy and resources to commit themselves to addressing the issue. The histories of many fledgling feminist movements that have organised themselves collectively (as Dunedin Women's Refuge did) can risk being lost because of a failure to keep systematic records. Oral history has provided an invaluable tool to record the stories of the women involved. The interviewees perspectives were necessarily partisan and it was not possible to interview everyone who had originally been involved. Therefore the thesis is acknowledgedly incomplete and is but one contribution to the many histories of the emergence and development of Dunedin Women's Refuge.--Author's abstract
