520 $a"In this book, 12 journalists from Africa, Asia and Latin America investigate women's legal struggles around the world. Combining personal accounts by women from widely different backgrounds with searching analysis, the book makes a compelling case for the radical overhaul of laws and social policies that shape attitudes and define what rights women have in practice. A unique aspect of this book is its holistic approach. In each chapter, the particular issue under scrutiny is also examined from the perspective of its effect on women's reproductive rights and health - still the area of women's experience over which societies exercise the most rigid, though often hidden, control." - Provided by publisher
