This edited collection presents a comprehensive examination of women's relationship to housing as consumers and managers of housing services. It begins with a discussion of women's experience of housing as buyers of property and users of housing services. Income differentials, the dominance of the needs of the nuclear family in housing forms and the ways in which housing allocations policies often discriminate against women are examined in detail. Subsequent discussion looks at women as producers of housing and assesses the structures within which they have to work.
