This is not light reading. Many of the stories are heartbreaking, and not only because the women who speak have been through hell and back. What Janovicek (history, U. of Calgary) find is that the movement to provide transitional housing for battered women was long overdue in Canada, as was the political movement against domestic violence that came, at least in part, from the secrets the women revealed once they were in a safe place. Janovicek sticks with small cities and rural areas and includes indigenous women in an analysis of how the denigration of a culture can lead to violence. She moves from house to house, delineating the need for such shelters, the movements they inspired, and the attitudes of those around the houses that may, or may not, have needed their services. Janovicek includes information on her interviews in an appendix. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
