Book review of ‘Doorways: Women, Homelessness, Trauma and Resistance' by Bekki Perriman

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.
