The documents adopted by the United Nations World Conference on
Women during the Decade for Women (1975-1985) set forth a policy
agenda for national and local governments, international
institutions, and women's groups worldwide. The dialogue among
women at the nongovernmental forums held in tandem with these
conferences served to identify, refine, and reassess the issues
addressed in the official documents. In this volume, Dr. Fraser has
condensed the four major documents of the Decade, retaining much of
the original language, and describes the context in which agendas
for policies, programs, and research were developed. The opening
chapters offer a historical perspective on the establishment of
International Women's Year, the Decade for Women, and the U.N.
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women. Throughout the book the author analyzes the
influence of Third World women on the formulation of the agenda and
discusses the interaction between the official and NGO conferences.
She concludes by assessing the results in policy and programmatic
terms and by exploring their implications for the future.
