Description
Has the battle for women’’s rights been won? As Niki van der Gaag points out, “it is easy to forget just how recently so many women’s rights have been won; and how many women still face violations of their rights on a daily basis.”
In this No-Nonsense Guide, van der Gaag offers a status report on the women of the world by examining issues like health, poverty, politics, law, education, the environment, violence, and sexuality. And although we are not yet living in a “post-feminist” world and change is slow in coming, it is coming.
