Highlighting the gendered nature of housing processes and systems in an international context, social scientists explore the dynamics of contemporary economic and social change, and consider
the implications for the relationship between women and the housing system in developed and emerging societies in Europe, the US, and East Asia. Among their topics are the Australian
experience, social change and housing systems in Spain, women and housing affordability in the US, the emerging housing situation of women in Japan, neo-liberalization and the invisibility of
women's housing problems in Taiwan, and women and housing inequalities in Hong Kong. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
