520 "Women Redefining the Experience of Food Insecurity: Life
Off the Edge of the Table is about understanding the
relationship between food insecurity and women's agency.
The contributors explore both the structural constraints
that limit what and how much people eat, and the myriad
ways that women creatively and strategically re-structure
their own fields of action in relation to food,
demonstrating that the nature of food insecurity is multi-
dimensional. The chapters portray how women develop
strategies to make it possible to have food in the
cupboard and on the table to be able to feed their
families. Exploring these themes, this book offers a lens
for thinking about the food system that incorporates women
as agentive actors and links women's everyday food-related
activities with ideas about food justice, food sovereignty,
and food citizenship. Taken together, the chapters provide
a unique perspective on how we can think broadly about the
issue of food insecurity in relation to gender, culture,
inequality, poverty, and health disparity. By
problematizing the mundane world of how women procure and
prepare food in a context of scarcity, this book reveals
dynamics, relationships and experiences that would
otherwise go unremarked. Normally under the radar, these
processes are embedded in power relations that demand
analysis, and demonstrate strategic individual action that
requires recognition. All of the chapters provide a
counter to caricatured notions that the choices women make
are irresponsible or ignorant, or that the lives of women
from low-income, low-wealth communities are predicated on
impotence and weakness. Yet, the authors do not
romanticize women as uniformly resilient or consistently
heroic. Instead, they explore the contradictions inherent
in the ways that marginalized, seemingly powerless women
ignore, resist, embrace and challenge hegemonic,
patriarchal systems through their relationship with food"-
