How have women used global institutions and the networking possible
through them to assure women's emergence on the world stage? How
successful have women been at the United Nations and at
international conferences over the years in their pressures for
equality and for a full partnership with men? To what extent have
women gained a foothold in the political arena internationally, and
have they been able to exert their influence and to improve their
situation? Expert participants and scholars give varying
perspectives and insights about the history of women's worldwide
efforts through governmental and nongovernmental organizations.
They trace the role of the UN Commission on the Status of Women and
the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women. They analyze the politics of the three world women's
conferences in the 1970s and the 1980s, the evolution of
institutions set up as catalysts to resolve key issues in
developing countries, and the changing conditions for women in the
UN Secretariat and specialized agencies. These unusual appraisals
and a lengthy bibliography are for interdisciplinary audiences of
women and men around the world--essential background to
understanding the 1995 UN conference in Beijing.
