Beschreibung
Feminist theories of social work have been criticised in recent years for treating women as a uniform category and displaying insufficient sensitivity to the complex ways in which other social divisions (those of race, age, disability, etc.) impact on gender relations. This major text by a leading writer in the field seeks to develop a new framework for feminist social work that takes on board postmodernist arguments to do with difference and power yet retains a commitment to collective solidarity and social change. As such, it will be essential reading for students, educators and practitioners alike in social work.

Zusammenfassung
Taps a real and longstanding gap in the market for a text that makes sense of recent feminist theorising in relation to social work practice
Gender issues and feminist theory are abiding concerns in social work education (the vast majority of social workers are women and social work education is firmly underpinned by antioppressive and empowering values)
Author's international reputation as a writer and lecturer
