Women, Homelessness, Trauma and Resistance' by Bekki Perriman

Rowan Tallis-Milligan

Published in Issue 2.1 // Updates

Keywords: homelessness, gender, resistance, home

Abstract:

Doorways centers on the gendered aspects of homelessness through first hand anecdotes while also drawing on the broader aspects of the “housing crisis” and the failures of various homelessness support systems. The book also shares both harsh anecdotes of sexual abuse and harassment, as well as more hopeful accounts of solidarity among homeless women.
