Summary
In this dynamic analysis of the gender revolution, authors Anne Breneman and Rebecca Mbuh create a platform for scholars from a variety of cultures to reflect upon their experiences as women and men in gendered cultures and upon their visions for gender equality and empowerment. The book, the culmination of a ten-year project involving women from China, Sweden, Korea, Cameroon, Indonesia, South Africa, and the USA, aims to stimulate an interdisciplinary, international dialogue that will ultimately contribute to the empowerment of women and the equality of women and men in the new millennium.
