Ceryl Teleri Davies’ research in female-only spaces informs this illuminating guide to young women’s experiences of intimate relationships. Essential reading for those working with young people, the book makes a vital contribution to the study of gender-based violence. Her research reveals young women’s understandings of what it means to have a healthy relationship, and considers the influence of gendered social norms within both healthy and abusive relationships. While contributing to the debate on how young women negotiate the conflicts inherent in contemporary constructions of gender, the book then suggests a pathway towards gender equality.With a unique contribution to the study of gender-based violence, this book uses the voices of young women aged 15-18 to illustrate the impact of abuse experienced in school and relationship settings. From an exploration of the concept of a healthy relationship, the book then advances a community and education-based model to promote gender equality.
