Publisher's Synopsis
In the keynote essay to Volume 3, the editors examine different definitions of feminism and question whether the divide between movements emerging from women's quest for identity and those organized around basic survival can be bridged. Chapters in the review section focus on current studies of women's health and of women in agriculture and forced migration. A trend report gives an up-to-date assessment of the impact on women's lives made by the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.
