Through interviews with 20 homeless and addicted women over a time
frame of five years, the author vividly demonstrates how sexual
abuse, sexism, and racism are at the base of their problems and how
both neo-conservative and neo-liberal theories and prescriptions
for solving their problems are unworkable. The author considers the
problems of homelessness and addiction and how these problems are
linked. She continues by providing statistical profiles of all the
interviewees. Ralston outlines the feminist methodology used in the
research and raises major questions regarding these issues. She
defines and tests the main theories in relation to the women's
experiences and perspectives and Uncovers new realities about the
situations and problems of welfare recipients and people whom
society has usually silenced.
