To improve the state of women is to improve the state of the world.
World events continue to reveal the importance of understanding how women live across continents and cultures. Using maps, text, and other graphics in this new revision of her eye-opening book, Joni Seager employs up-to-the-minute research and data to show what shifts have occurred in the ten years since the first edition was published - the strides made by women and the distances still to be travelled. She explores the current status of women in relation to such key issues as:
- Equality
- Information technology literacy
- Feminism
- The culture of beauty
- Women at work
- Women in the global economy
- Changing households
- Domestic violence
- Refugees
- Lesbian rights
- Women in government
- Motherhood
Filled with a wealth of information creatively displayed, The Atlas of Women in the World is an indispensable resource for understanding the world we live in.
About the Author: Joni Seager has won The Association of American Geographers 2005 "Media Achievement Award" for her success in bringing geographic work to the attention of wide audiences.
