Female Well-Being: Toward a Global Theory of Social ChangeJanet Mancini Billson, Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban This global survey starts from the assumption that the significant transformations in women's lives deserve to be fully documented and interpreted. Janet Mancini Billson and Carlyn Fluehr-Lobban tackle the complexities of social change by using data from countries in every world region to illustrate the most critical challenges that women faced during the last century - challenges that are also likely to shape the 21st century. |
