DESCRIPTION
The aim of this book is to explore some of the implications of the shift from the women in development to the 'gender and development' approach for the analysis of health and health care issues in general. Health policies and programmes have focussed on biological aspects of diagnosis, treatment and prevention. This book examines the changing role of women in developing countries and calls for a new approach to empowerment. This book also ranges across contemporary debates in the study of gender and development.
