This book examines how responses by the state sanction violence against women and shape a womans citizenship long after she has escaped from a violent partner. \n\nDrawing from a long-term study of womens lives in Australia, including before and after a relationship with a violent partner, it investigates the effects of intimate partner violence on aspects of everyday life including housing, employment, mental health and social participation.\n\nThe book contributes to theoretical explanations of violence against women by reframing it through the lens of sexual politics.
