An attempt to provide a radical new assessment of the relevance of gender to social work with the aim of developing a genuinely woman-centred practice. By looking at what women social workers have in common with women clients and what divides them, the book aims to show what practical measures can be taken to build confidence, to reduce isolation, to further self awareness and to improve assessment, planning and practice both in the workplace and in the field. The book concludes with proposals for a non-sexist code of practice. Jalna Hanmer is author of "Radicals in Social Work".

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Violence towards women is being given an increasingly high profile in the media. Mainstream sociology, however, has yet to address it as a central issue. The various contributors to this book correct this omission by producing new research data and theoretical insights, demonstrating that violence against women is socially constructed along gender lines. The topics covered include: indecent exposure, psychosurgery, sexual harassment and the way violence to women is treated in courts of law. But this volume goes further than empirical description. It underlines the importance of male violence in the subordination of women. The chapters display the hierarchical nature of a society where gender stratification is fundamental and violence, and its threat, play a major role in the social control of women.

Social Sciences

In this second edition of a classic text, the changes in the lives of women using social services and women working in them are sensitively charted with the aim of reflecting on how non-sexist women-centred practice can be nurtured and developed. Retaining its original emphasis on attitudes, values and the social welfare context, the text explores the core areas of poverty, work (including providing support for children and adults), violence and familial relationships, but with a stronger emphasis on the important diversities created by age, disability and employment, as well as by race, class and sexuality.
