Women Across Cultures: A Global Perspective

By Shawn Meghan Burn

Book Overview

This text examines the role that culture plays in women's past oppression and future equality, but argues that the most important issue facing women-their lower status and power-is universal. After a thorough explanation of why women lack equal power, Burn suggests what we might do to change this condition. This activist perspective offers the reader a clear understanding of the steps that can be taken to improve the circumstances of women's lives.

Women Across Cultures

By far the most fantastic best researched book on the struggles and triumps of Women ever written! Burn, does all the work, she sets up a once very difficult subject to teach, in a comprehensive text. Not a peer in the field when it comes to research and scholar, a smash of a text!
