      abstract = {"When Kip Tiernan was growing up during the Great  Depression, she'd help her granny feed the men who came to  their door asking for help. As Kip grew older, and as she  continued to serve food to hungry people, she noticed  something peculiar: huddled at the back of serving lines  were women dressed as men. At the time, it was believed  that there were no women experiencing homelessness. And yet  Kip would see women sleeping on park benches and searching  for food in trash cans. Kip decided to open the first  shelter for women--a shelter with no questions asked, no  required chores, just good meals and warm beds. With  persistence, Kip took on the city of Boston in her quest to  open Rosie's Place, our nation's first shelter for  women."--Amazon.com},
