Reviews
“At a time when women’s health has become increasingly politicized on a global scale, Meredeth Turshen’s book provides an invaluable tool for understanding the need for closing global inequities in health and how to do so. Turshen is a force to be reckoned with and readers of this book can utilize all that wisdom and experience as they navigate the myriad of issues around women’s global health.” (Yana van der Meulen Rodgers, Faculty Director of the Center for Women and Work, and Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies, Rutgers University, Author of The Global Gag Rule and Women’s Reproductive Health: Rhetoric versus Reality)
