Women and Poverty Summary

Women and Poverty: Psychology, Public Policy, and Social Justice by Heather E. Bullock (University of California at Santa Cruz, USA)

Women and Poverty analyzes the social and structural factors that contribute to, and legitimize, class inequity and women's poverty. In doing so, the book provides a unique documentation of women's experiences of poverty and classism at the individual and interpersonal levels.

  • Provides readers with a critical analysis of the social and structural factors that contribute to women's poverty
  • Uses a multidisciplinary approach to bring together new research and theory from social psychology, policy studies, and critical and feminist scholarship
  • Documents women's experiences of poverty and classism at the interpersonal and institutional levels
  • Discusses policy analysis for reducing poverty and social inequality
