Feminist geographies seek to challenge the invisibility of particular spaces by examining the complexities of gendered spatiality. The women of A New Environment for Women's Healing (ANEW), Christian Welfare Trust, Meren, New Zealand, create, define, and defend their women-only space in a variety of ways. This research explores the power and processes of ANEW's women-only space, as expressed through interviews and as noted through participant observation. This research also explores issues of feminist research methodology. The struggles and strategies of the women of ANEW are examined in the context of feminist geography and feminist theory. ANEW's resistant, paradoxical geography is dis-covered.
