Abstract

This article critically analyzes feminist practice in shelters for battered women, with particular attention to the extent to which, and how, issues of motheringar e addressed. Drawingon participant observations and interviews with staff and residents at a local shelter in Canada, it appears that practice in this arena remains immune to feminist analyses of mothering. An articulation of some of the consequences of the invisibility of women as mothers in shelter settings and suggested implications for shelter practice are presented.
