Working with girls and young women in community settings

This is an important new source book for youth workers, social workers, community workers and others involved with education outside the school. It will be an essential reference point for students and lecturers involved in professional training. This book builds on the strengths of autonomous feminist work with girls and young women, offering a record of existing good practice as well as developing a critique to strengthen future practice. Janet Batsleer argues that the recognition of diversity is essential to work which aims to support young women's development.
