Feminist Perspectives on Social Work Practice is a contemporary look at the issues across a wide spectrum, beyond just equal pay for equal work and reproductive rights, with which women struggle on a daily basis. The Trump administration's call to roll back the progress that women have made over the decades in terms of social welfare benefits, reproductive rights, and employment recognition, alongside the continuing victimization of women who have survived sexual violence, are just a few examples demonstrating why social workers and other human service professionals need to continue to advocate and care for women in particular ways.

This book aims to continue keeping the lives of women and the issues that affect and matter most to them at the forefront of the discussions about society and social services. The text will help readers to gain an understanding of populations of women that they might/will work with in the field of human services. Using demographics, case studies, and best practice/evidence-based programs, the authors collectively provide students and practitioners with a comprehensive knowledge of women from a feminist perspective.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Feminist Perspectives on Social Work Practice addresses a wide range of women's experiences with an eye toward intersecting identities, interlocking oppressions, and possibilities for liberation. Butler-Mokoro and Grant's text shows how women's multifaceted identities are shaped at individual,
interactional, and institutional levels and how helping professionals can use feminist theories and frameworks to better inform their professional practice." -- Social Work

Feminist Perspectives on Social Work Practice adeptly weaves together the intersecting threads that constitute women's lives and anchor women's selves to society. Butler-Mokoro and Grant have established an impressive team of contributors who illuminate the intersectional nature of women's lives on
issues like motherhood, mass incarceration, war, and aging among others. This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist social work practice and its interpersonal and structural implications for meaningful social change.
