This course focuses on the unique pressures and problems that confront women today, with emphasis on the barriers and stresses facing poor women, minority women, and aged women. Attention is directed toward evolving a practice perspective that is most suited to meeting the particular needs of women clients. Within the field of social work itself there is evidence that women social workers are victims of discriminatory practices; this issue is also addressed.
