Geographies of Women's Health: Place, Diversity and Difference: Routledge International Studies of Women and Place

Autor Isabel Dyck Editat de Nancy Davis Lewis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2011
This international collection explores the relationships between society, place, gender and health, and how these play out in different parts of the world. The chapters work together in examining the complex layering of social, economic and political relations that frame women's health. The authors demonstrate that women's health needs to be understood 'in place' if gains are to be made in improving women's health and health care.
