A personal portrait of an ardent anti-poverty activist and inspiring accounts of community initiatives for change. Both a compelling collection of personal stories and a call to action. -- Feminist Bookstore News. In 1988 Sheila Baxter's groundbreaking book No Way to Live: Poor Women Speak Out exploded many myths about women who live in poverty, offering insights that government statistics do not. In two subsequent books, Baxter's interviews with homeless people and children growing up in poverty gave us a fresh perspective on the day-to-day struggles of urban life on the bread-line. Still Raising Hell brings us a personal portrait of ardent anti-poverty activist Sheila Baxter, who is now in her sixties and remains as vocal as ever. Also included are excerpts from interviews with activist colleagues, as Baxter sets out to uncover the roots of their commitment to social change.
