Description
Gender Dilemmas in Social Work features nine chapters written by female educators and practitioners whose works represent feminist perspectives on a variety of topics. This book is a timely analysis not only of the challenges facing women in social work today but also of the leadership they will provide for promotion women’s equality in the 21st century. One of the most interesting aspects of this text is the way in which Professors Taylor and Daly organize the historical, legal, religious, and professional aspects of feminism in terms of their dynamic interaction with the profession of social work.
