Description

Though they account for only a small portion of the formal homeless statistics, there are many more women living on insufficient funds, with violent partners, in unacceptable dwellings, or in other fragile circumstances that are too often overlooked.

They are our mothers, our daughters, our aunts, our nieces, our wives—they are all our sisters—and they remain largely invisible compared to homeless men. Susan Scott interviewed more than 60 women facing homelessness across Canada.

Part of her agreement with these women was to tell their stories in the way they would want to have them told.

With uncompromising honesty and a deep sense of empathy, Scott recounts their stories while highlighting the many underlying problems they face.

These include personal histories of abuse, addiction, and violence, as well as systemic conditions of gentrification, a paucity of affordable housing, and a lack of social services sensitive to women's needs. All Our Sisters is essential reading for anyone who wants to know more about the conditions facing homeless women in Canada.
