- Description
- With Pulitzer Prize winners Kristof and WuDunn as our guides, readers undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet extraordinary women, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. The authors show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population.

- Description
- The author explores how Jewish tradition perceives and treats rituals surrounding birth and death, particularly as they pertain to women’s development. Part I focuses on birth contraception and birth control, fertility, and celebrating the birth of a daughter (the ritual of Simhat bat). Part II comprises chapters on the kaddish, or the memorial prayer for the dead, and the funeral. Each chapter begins with a synthesis of rabbincal views on the role of women in the ritual under scrutiny. Millen draws on halakhic literature from modern Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism. She contextualizes the legal debates by raising questions about gender and sexuality and through exploring the public/private nexus and community/autonomy dialectic as understood by different Jewish denominations.

- Description
- This publication explores the factors responsible for the huge number of preventable maternal deaths that continue to occur each year. It documents the range of problems - from personal fatalism, through social customs, to the shortcomings of the health services - that must be understood if the special and long-neglected health needs of women are to receive appropriate attention. . .The first chapter illustrates the dimensions of the problem through a review of available data on death rates and risks associated with childbearing. Numerous case histories and examples from field research are then used to explore the various social, cultural, and political factors which together determine the status of women, their health, fertility, and health-seeking behaviour. Questions of causes and prevention are included.
