Reviews

`Jejeebhoy's book strikes an excellent balance between art and science and synthesizes a literature that has expanded at least twentyfold since I wrote a similar review in the late 1970s (Cochrane, 1979) ... the book is far more than a simple literature review ... Her major contribution to the art of the review lies in her meticulous documentation of an enormous literature and in her clear and engaging writing style ... I can recommend her excellent book without qualification and congratulate the United Nations Population Fund for granting its support to such a piece of scholarship.' Studies in Family Planning `Jejeebhoy's book fits into a vast body of literature calling for greater investment in women, and the data from developing countries will be useful to demographic studies.'
