Review
'Transcending the gulf between academic analyst and political activist as effortlessly as the dichotomies in feminist theory, Ruth Lister has made an important contribution to the praxis of citizenship.' - Journal of Social Policy
'Essential reading for anyone considering the issue of citizenship.' - British Journal of Social Work
'Ruth Lister is an admired and respected activist and policy analyst. Her book does a marvellous job of bringing together a wide variety of literature on citizenship...and reaching a brand new synthesis on women's citizenship. As we would expect, the text also explores in considerable depth some of our most pressing policy dilemmas.' - Professor Jane Lewis
'This is an excellent study, highly recommended to anyone interested in democratic and feminist theory and practice from the undergraduate level upwards The strength of Lister's book is that it really covers the field, form methodology to practical examples, by using citizenship as a synthesising and organising category...The range of up-to-date theories that Lister draws on is truly impressive, her prose accessible, and her many years of experience in welfare policy (with the UK Child Poverty Action Group) very valuable, through she draws on her material world-wide.' - Terrell Carver, Australian Journal of Political Science
'This book is dominated by a passionate opposition to injustice and social exclusion and in particular to these evils as experienced by women. Its focus is the contradiction between the convention that men and women are necessarily different by reason of their gender and the belief that global citizenship is a universal attribute. ..stunningly comprehensive...the whole book fully justifies the claim that it offers fresh perspectives on a hackneyed subject.' - Community Care 'Timely and important.' - Citizen
'...a remarkable piece of work, which is both scholarly and at the same time pays full regard to the lives of women in all their differences. It is also, in many respects, a truly interdisciplinary analysis, a practical application of the capacity of feminisms and feminists to move beyond binaries and rigid boundaries.' - Rosemary Deem, Sociological Research Online
'This is an enlightening book dealing with heady debates and offering serious alternatives to current discourses about gender and citizenship' - Beatrix Campbell
'...essential reading...'- Professor Anne Showstack Sassoon
'...an outstanding piece of work that presents different citizenship theories and practices in the developed world from a feminist perspective.' - Shereen Hussein, Journal of Gender Studies
