Reviews

This provocative, well-reasoned, and eminently readable book deserves a wide audience. The connections Engelman draws between opportunity for women and sustainable population are at once commonsensical and inspired. --Joel E. Cohen Mauz Professor of Populations, author of How Many People Can Support the Earth?

With engaging prose, Engelman takes readers on a delightful journey--that both entertains and educates - of modern civilization and women's central role to ensuring the economic and social well-being of their families, communities, nations and the global community. --Geeta Rao Gupta President, International Center for Research on Women
