Listening to the voices of poor women is a major goal of feminists who are dealing with the subject of poverty; however, its implementation is far from simple. Problems of power and ethics are enmeshed with the question of how to understand these voices and how to make them heard without exploiting or distorting them. This article counters these issues in presenting a feminist reading of Miriam—a woman living in poverty and social deprivation. The feminist reading of the story sheds light on Miriam’s limited opportunities, the nature of her difficulties, and her struggle.
