Women and Gender in a Globalized World

From the Foundations in Global Studies series, this student-friendly text presents a brief historical overview of women's status in the lead-up to the contemporary era and a brief history of women's and gender studies. Students are guided through the key concepts and the theoretical constructs that define the global context of women and gender, and and understanding of how theory meets reality. A final section uses case studies to examine theory and practice at work in particular situations across disciplines and across regions.
