Practising feminism for social welfare: a global perspective

Abstract

"There has been an explosion of interest in feminism in recent years. This book argues it is still necessary and has a vital role. Feminism's core objectives -to address the persistent issue of women's inequality and ongoing sexism, and to fight against women's oppression and improve women's lives - remain of central value across the world. As a result, how feminism contributes to and improves social welfare, is overdue for re-examination. Designed as an introduction to feminist practice for social policy and social work audiences, this volume will also speak to a range of academic disciplines, including sociology, criminology, politics, women's studies, and gender and feminist studies"--
