This study gives the homeless women of Japan a voice at last,  

Based on extensive fieldwork, the author paints a vivid picture of the unique experiences of homeless women living in a diverse range of environments.
By introducing a gender perspective to the analytic framework and challenging the conception of the homeless individual as a rational, autonomous subject, the author invites a critical reconsideration of homeless studies and of public policy.
