Description

This text examines the role that culture plays in women's past oppression and future equality, but argues that the most important issue facing women-their lower status and power-is universal. After a thorough explanation of why women lack equal power, Burn suggests what we might do to change this condition. This activist perspective offers the reader a clear understanding of the steps that can be taken to improve the circumstances of women's lives.
