The literature on stalking inadequately incorporates the voices of female survivors whose lived experiences escalated to the point of violence or the threat of lethal violence by male perpetrators. To address this gap in the literature and include the insights of survivors in the ongoing discourse about stalking, the authors sought the perspectives of nine heterosexual female survivors. The stories of these women, evident in the presentation of the six themes and deviant case that emerged from the data, provide a richer and fuller understanding of this form of interpersonal violence. Implications for practice are discussed.

Key Words: crime • interpersonal violence • qualitative research • stalking • women
