Women's Health Movements - A Global Force for Change (Hardcover)

All over the world, women are organizing to improve their status in society and to better their health and health care. Women's activism is rooted in the global context of resource inequities between the North and the South and among genders, races, and classes within countries. Women fight for better health services and struggle with the pharmaceutical industry, and their responses to the violence they experience are at the very heart of their health movements. Most women organize first around demands for reproductive rights, and then expand to question care for the mentally ill, disabled, and malnourished.
