'This is an extraordinary book - the result of a carefully nurtured process of cross-cultural collaboration and consultation. As such, it is a unique resource on one of the most challenging and contentious social issues of our time. The voices and experiences of women, their strengths and diversity, are captured here. The book should be required reading for researchers, scholars, activists and policy makers alike' - Adrienne Germain, International Women's Health Coalition
