Writing for a student audience, Momsen (Geography [emeriti], University of California at Davis) introduces gender and development issues in the developing world and in the former communist states of Eastern and Central Europe. Using examples and case studies drawn from her own field work, the author discusses social and biological reproduction (including differing attitudes to family planning) and variation in education and access to housing; differences in health and violence at major life stages for women and men; natural disasters and gender roles in rural and urban areas; the impact of globalization and other broad economic changes on gender differences in economic activity; and international progress towards gender equality. This text is suitable for courses in women's studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, and development. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
