https://www.blanketofstars.net/images/gallery/photos_row3.jpgThe full title of the website is "Blanket Of Stars Homeless Women of Santa Monica". But the Book and website could be about any community, certainly any community I've seen in recent years.
The faces of homelessness are most often seen as male. But this is only because they are the most visible, and have just a bit less to fear from violence directed towards them. But any downtown area I've been in recently, has a growing number of women homeless. They are the ones carrying "purses" bulging to overflow with personal belongings. Often they are seen walking their dogs, usually fairly large dogs as those are the best for self-defense. Or, you can see these women, the slightly-less-unfortunate ones, sitting/sleeping in the front seat of their car; back seat piled to the roof with belongings.
