The atlas of women in the world (New rev. 3rd ed)

World events continue to reveal the importance of understanding how women live across continents and cultures.

Using maps, text, and other graphics in this revision of her eye-opening book, Joni Seager employs up-to-the-minute research and data to show what shifts have occurred in the ten years since the first edition was published - the strides made by women and the distance still to be travelled.

She explores the current status of women in relation to key issues including: women in the global economy; women's health; feminism; household trends; lesbian rights; domestic violence; women in government; and motherhood.
