Recenzii

"Women's Health and the World's Cities will hopefully spur a paradigm shift-political, economic, and social-on how we view women's rights to well-being... An outstanding addition to the existing literature on urban and public health."-Journal of Urban Affairs "Incredibly relevant in setting out to address primary health issues affecting urban women globally... The book provides valuable insight into urban women's health issues worldwide. Thanks to its diversity in topics, there is bound to be an intriguing chapter for readers of all backgrounds-academics, researchers, and philanthropists alike."-Gender, Place, and Culture "While global women's health has received serious attention from scholars, the profound impact of the environment on women's well-being has been poorly understood until now. Essential reading for anyone working to improve the lives of women."-Nancy Fugate Woods, University of Washington School of Nursing "Filling a major gap in the literature on urban health, Meleis, Birch, and Wachter have pulled together an impressive collection of essays that promises to spark dialogue and debate across and among disciplines. Readers will come away with a clear understanding of the connections among health, gender, and urban space."-David Vlahov, University of California, San Francisco
