This expansive survey spotlights pervasive issues affecting girls'
and women's sexual and reproductive health across the lifecourse.
Research from diverse countries around the world analyzes the
complex relationships among biological, psychological,
sociocultural, and economic issues-particularly in terms of
inequities-as they shape women's lives. Major challenges and
possibilities for intervention are examined in their national
context and with their global implications, including child
marriage/motherhood, reproductive care and access, fertility,
childbearing, contraception, abortion, HIV/STIs, gender-based
violence, sexual pleasure, and menopause. In these forceful
dispatches, a consistent human rights perspective emphasizes
women's control, autonomy, and agency in all stages of their lives.
A sampling of topics covered: Girl child marriage: a persistent
global women's health and human rights violation Investigating
challenges and resilience among women living with obstetric fistula
in Kenya A qualitative exploration of mainstream and social media
reflections on abortion A continuum of severity of sexual intimate
partner violence among black women in the United States Economic
empowerment to improve sexual and reproductive health among women
and girls Summarizing an interdisciplinary field on research and
practical levels, Global Perspectives on Women's Sexual and
Reproductive Health Across the Lifecourse will be an invaluable
text for undergraduate and graduate courses in a wide range of
fields, including public health, global health, women's studies,
sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and human rights.
