Women Redefining the Experience of Food Insecurity

More about the book

In Women Redefining the Experience of Food Insecurity: Life Off the Edge of the Table, contributors stress the relationship between food insecurity and women's agency. By problematizing the mundane world of how women procure and prepare food in a context of scarcity, this book, edited by Janet Page-Reeves, reveals dynamics, relationships and experiences that would otherwise go unremarked, and counters constructions of women's choices as predicated on ignorance, irresponsibility or weakness.
