Description and Table of Contents
Description
Three current issues in social science research are examined in Women, Biology and Public Policy -- the problems affecting women in their everyday lives, the relationship between the physical and socio-political lives of people, and the role of normative theory in policy science. Going beyond beyond theories of traditional sociobiology, this multi-disciplinary volume focuses on the reciprocal relationship between biology and the formulation, implementation, and impact of public policies.
