Description
Provides a balanced survey of existing literature on women throughout the third world.
Women in the Third World discusses topics such as the status of women; access to and enrollment in schools and universities; access to medical care; legal status; actions that husbands can take against their wives as permitted by law; and the extent to which women are considered property.
This volume also provides biographical sketches of noted women leaders, statistical information, data on programs, and summaries of print and nonprint resources. Students, educators, journalists, policy makers, women's center personnel, and anyone interested in the status of women in the third world will find this an excellent research tool.
