"Feminist Perspectives on Social Work Practice addresses a wide range of women's experiences with an eye toward intersecting identities, interlocking oppressions, and possibilities for liberation. Butler-Mokoro and Grant's text shows how women's multifaceted identities are shaped at individual, interactional, and institutional levels and how helping professionals can use feminist theories and frameworks to better inform their professional practice." -- Social Work

Feminist Perspectives on Social Work Practice adeptly weaves together the intersecting threads that constitute women's lives and anchor women's selves to society. Butler-Mokoro and Grant have established an impressive team of contributors who illuminate the intersectional nature of women's lives on issues like motherhood, mass incarceration, war, and aging among others. This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist social work practice and its interpersonal and structural implications for meaningful social change. - Sara B.
