This is an innovative text using didactic information and case studies to address those issues that affect most of the worlds women. The first half of the book focuses on health issues that specifically affect women such as maternal mortality, fistulas, and cervical cancer. The second part of the book discusses how agencies such as governments, non-governmental organisations, and professional societies can partner and improve standards for women. By affecting the status of women, the whole family and community ultimately benefit.
