This book marks a critical contribution in assessing and extending
the evidence base on the causes and consequences of women's
homelessness. Drawing together work from Europe's leading
homelessness scholars, it presents a multidisciplinary and
comparative analysis of this acute social problem, including its
relationship with domestic violence, lone parenthood, motherhood,
health and well-being and women's experience of sustained and
recurrent homelessness. Working from diverse perspectives, the
authors look at the responses to women's homelessness in differing
cultures and regions, and within various forms of welfare states.
They focus in particular on relating the gender dimensions of
welfare and social policy to women's experiences when they become
homeless. This innovative and timely edited volume will appeal to
students and scholars of sociology, social policy, anthropology,
and gender and women's studies, along with international
policy-makers.
