The tremendous forces of political and social change experienced by
women in the 1980s have altered their perceptions, expectations,
and demands. In the medical arena, this has meant the advancement
of a more proactive role for women in the choice and direction of
their individual health care. Documenting the shift toward
increased personal responsibility, Women's Health Care analyzes
myriad women's health issues in a sociological context. Opening
with the presentation of vital demographics, the editors structure
their initial exploration within specific age groups. The second
section focuses on women's experiences as recipients of nursing
care, both as patients receiving treatment and as "well" patients
seeking preventive care. The next section addresses the promotion
of women's health--including such topics as nutrition, exercise,
and fertility control--in terms of current theory and research. In
the final section, the authors consider several health concerns
that are specific to women, but common among them. Essential
reading for practicing nurses and advanced students in nursing,
public health, and gender studies interested in women's health
issues, Women's Health Care provides an encompassing study of this
crucial area. "An excellent guide to all aspects of women's
health." --The Bookwatch "An impressive collection showing
conclusively that women's health can no longer be viewed as some
kind of minor deviation from the norm of men's health. The range of
topics covered in the 29 chapters is immense, as one would expect a
book of over 700 pages, but this breadth is never achieved at the
expense of detailed research-based exploration and exposition of
the issues. The scope is a real strength in that there are
discursive socio-political, feminist and philosophical
considerations to compliment the more clinical aspects of women's
health discussed. . . . This must be the most comprehensive and
vital book on women's health today. It should be in every nursing
library, ward or clinic where women are cared for and in the hands
of every nurse practicing in this area." --Nursing Times
