Riassunto

'A fascinating atlas. It is not only an invaluable reference book, but also throws up questions about why a woman's lot is not as good as a man's.' The Independent

'An appealing idea, imaginatively executed.' The Times Educational Supplement

To improve the state of women is to improve the state of the world. World events continue to reveal the importance of understanding how women live across continents and cultures. Using maps and graphics in this new revision of her eye-opening book, Joni Seager uses up-to-the-minute research and data to show what shifts have occurred in the ten years since the first edition was published - the strides made by women and the distance still to be travelled. She explores the current status of women in relation to such key issues as:

• Equality
• Government
• IT literacy
• Feminism
• Women's health
• Motherhood 
• Women at work 
• Household trends 
• The global economy 
• Domestic violence 
• Refugees 
• Lesbian rights

Filled with a wealth of information creatively displayed, The Atlas of Women in the World is an indispensable resource for understanding the world we live in.
