Feeling Trapped : Social Class and Violence against Women Hardback
by James Ptacek
Part of the Gender and Justice series
Hardback
Description
The relationship between class and intimate violence against women is much misunderstood.
While many studies of intimate violence focus on poor and working-class women, few examine the issue comparatively in terms of class privilege and class disadvantage.
James Ptacek draws on in-depth interviews with sixty women from wealthy, professional, working-class, and poor communities to investigate how social class shapes both women's experiences of violence and the responses of their communities to this violence.
Ptacek's framing of women's victimization as "social entrapment" links private violence to public responses and connects social inequalities to the dilemmas that women face.
