This work explores the diversity and complexity of women's
perceptions and reactions to their own "lifeworlds" in their own
words. Examining the changing meaning of "place" in women's lives
over time and across space, this book questions how women face,
negotiate and shape the social space of their environment. Personal
narratives are presented by 15 women of various age groups, from
different cultural, religious, social and geographical backgrounds,
from Mexican politician, Muslim psychiatrist, Finnish housewife to
Indian guru and African rural woman. Writing about the lives of
their grandmothers, mothers, themselves, their daughters or other
close female relatives, the authors of these life narratives cross
generational and cultural divides and share perceptions with each
other. The result is a collection of life stories of 54 women in
Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, covering a period of more
than 100 years, highlighting women's personal perceptions of the
basic dimensions of their lives, their sources of strength and the
things that bring meaning to their lives.
