Overview
Reflecting on gender issues, including violence, justice and social protection, and the means to attain gender equality and social justice, this new volume explores women and gender as an intersection between social, political, and economic issues faced by societies. It discusses gender roles in both historical and modern society, while also looking at how larger structural influences—such as nationbuilding globalization, economic advancements, and the legal system—shape the lives of women. Chapters address violence against women, including those that happen in cyberspace; gender parity in the workplace, in leadership, in politics, and in the financial sector; breaking barriers and the impact of social protection on gender equality; stress and women’s health; and more.

Reviews
""A well-intended effort in putting every aspect of gender studies in the right context. It comprehensively discusses the issues and challenges faced by women folk the world over. Dividing the book as per the major themes is a perfect design of systematizing the issues and then discussing them holistically and giving some solutions. A handsome effort to bring ideas and modes of analysis to the attention of not just readers but the ruling establishments that will enable the achievement of true empowerment of women and helps in igniting fresh thinking towards the policy framing on these weighty subjects."" —From Foreword by Dr. Nidhi Mishra, Joint Commissioner, Deputy Director–STAR, Department of Finance, Government of Rajasthan, India
