Description
The Trapped Woman examines the ways in which gender-based definitions of deviant behaviour affect the treatment of women and their access to resources in contemporary society. The contributors argue that many of the standards that define `normal' behaviour for men paradoxically label the same behaviour `deviant' for women. The policy implications of such gender-based definitions are examined with reference to mental health, drug use, crime, poverty and single parent families, employment and physical health areas.
