Feminist Social Work Theory and Practice
Feminist theories of social work have been criticised in recent years for treating women as a uniform category and displaying insufficient sensitivity to the complex ways in which other social divisions (those of race, age, disability, etc.) impact on gender relations.

Intersectionality in Social Work
This ground breaking book is an innovative, passionate and provocative exploration of intersectionality.
