It illustrates the critical challenges faced by women in the 20th century using original data from countries in every world region. The case studies are written by teams of scholars, educators, and policy analysts in Canada, the United States, Colombia, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Croatia, Japan, Bangladesh, Thailand, South Africa, Sudan, and Kenya. The catalysts for change in female well-being are identified from trends from 1900 to 2000 in infant morta. 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aWomen$xHealth and hygiene$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aMaternal and infant welfare$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aWomen in development$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen$xHealth and hygiene 615 0$aMaternal and infant welfare 615 0$aWomen in development 676 $a305.42/09/04 701 $aBillson$b Janet Mancini$01687079 701 $aFluehr-Lobban$b Carolyn$0252246 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910170992903321 996 $aFemale well-being$94206194 997 $aUNINA
