Women and Community Action: Local and Global Perspectives: BASW/Policy Press Titles

Although much progress has yet to be made, societal roles for women in the world today differ greatly from those which prevailed in the late 1980s, when Women and Community Action was first published. This third edition updates some of the perennial questions facing women on issues like governance, roles in their communities, homes, workplaces, corporations, domestic work, and interpersonal relationships. It also engages with some of the newer issues, namely digital exclusion, empowerment across the life cycle, sustainable community development and environmental justice, and building community resilience post-disasters.
