Although several decades of feminist social action have made significant progress to the social, economic and political condition of many women, change has been uneven and there remain considerable advancements to be made globally. This valuable third edition considers women's changing position in the world today, updating some of the perennial challenges that women face and examining new and emerging issues including digital exclusion, sustainable community development and environmental justice.  Published in association with the British Association of Social Workers, this book is an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of social work, community work, sociology and social policy. 4aWomen in community developmentzGreat Britain. 4aWomen in community organization zGreat Britain. 4aFeminismzGreat Britain.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oHQ1240.5.G7 D66 2019pPNLIB21061817r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c2004d2004
