This edited collection presents a comprehensive examination of
women's relationships to housing--both as consumers of housing
services and managers of these services. The book begins with a
discussion of women's experience of housing as buyers of property
and users of housing services, examining in detail income
differentials, the dominance of the needs of the nuclear family in
housing forms and the ways in which housing allocations policies
often discriminate against women. Subsequent discussion looks at
women as producers of housing and assesses the structures within
which they have to work.
While much of the literature to date has portrayed women as
passive recipients of services and victims of discrimination, this
volume shows the very active role women have played, for example in
housing protest movements. Throughout, the book is forward looking,
considering the possibility of new housing forms which would
challenge gender assumptions and be more attractive to women. The
contributors make policy recommendations necessary to the creation
of affordable housing and employment and training agencies to
ensure better equal opportunity policies.
