This book brings to life early-century counterparts of urban women identified today as victims of the "feminization of poverty" and recipients of aid from assistance programs. With new details and original interpretations, this book moves beyond earlier studies that focus only on female employment or family life of this generation. It shows what poor women tried to do in the midst of multiple roles. The book integrates themes of child rearing and homemaking with those of women's relations to men, their reliance on female kin, and their involvement in the neighborhood, in employment, and with city agencies and institutions.

"Diversity and Social Work in Canada explores the question of how the social work profession can effectively address the growing diversity within Canada today. In this contributed volume, twenty-six academic experts offer insights for students of the helping professions, highlighting the concepts of cultural competence, experiential phenomenological approaches to identity, intersectionality, and localization. The text is divided into three parts. The first part explores theoretical approaches, including anti-oppression and anti-racism. The second presents ideas for managing diversity within clinical and community settings. The third focuses on social work with diverse populations, including First Nations, Francophones, and immigrants and refugees, and delves into practice concerns related to spirituality and religion, sexual diversity, gender, disability, and aging. Discussion is supported by real-world case examples to help students connect theory to practice."--
