Description:
This second edition of Building on Women’s Strengths: A Social Work
Agenda for the Twenty-First Century is a testimonial not only to the memory of Liane Davis, but to all feminist social workers who have worked hard to deliver strengths-based, feminist social work services to women. The updated chapters maintain the original focus of the book and provide us with new perspectives and directions that are relevant to our work in the new millennium. Especially interesting are Dorothy Miller’s chapter on True Equality: An Overview of Policy Issues for Women and Women’s Mental Health: Twentieth-Century Realities, Twenty-First Century Challenges by Margaret Severson. They highlight the relevant issues for
women historically, as well as in the current social climate, and suggest
feminist interventions for social change
