Description
The importance of a concern for women's well-being cannot be overemphasized. The pervasive patriarchal assumption is that women are generally responsible for the well-being of others. Consequently, the issues dealt with in Women and Well-Being are often ignored. Vanaja Dhruvarajan has selected twenty articles from those presented at the eleventh annual Conference of the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women. Together they identify conditions which are beneficial or detrimental to a woman's well-being and explore ways and means of advancing awareness of the issue.
