Informed & Creative

Older Women in Poverty
Written By Amanda Barusch

“Excellent illustrations of the impact of poverty on issues such as self-concept, coping skills, caregiving, and cognitive responses of women born or drawn into poverty … the book extends the research toward an action agenda that is both informed and creative.”

—Rosario Torres Raines
