Reviews

Women's Issues for a New Generation: A Social Work Perspective is a critical tour de force. Spanning the globe and time--past, present, and future--the scope of this work is staggering. While grounded in serious scholarship, the tone 'keeps it real.' Dr. Ukockis' personal reflections, which are both poignant and humorous, underscore the 'personal is political' credo and challenge readers to take up the call. This book is essential reading for anyone who is a woman or knows one. --Miriam Potocky, PhD, Professor, School of Social Work, Florida International University This book is the most thorough, well-researched source available on all aspects of women's issues. Unlike many titles, it covers relevant history leading to the present day on contemporary and ongoing gender concerns. Dr. Ukockis has written an important go-to book for topics from gender identity to rape in the military to diversity among women and women's poverty. Students and scholars of both women's studies and social work will benefit from this text. --Terry Cluse-Tolar, PhD, MSW, Professor, Ohio University Women's Issues for a New Generation: A Social Work Perspective is a critical tour de force.
