Reflecting on gender issues, including violence, justice and social protection, and the means to attain gender equality and social justice, this new volume explores women and gender as an intersection between social, political, and economic issues faced by societies. It discusses gender roles in both historical and modern society, while also looking at how larger structural influences—such as nationbuilding globalization, economic advancements, and the legal system—shape the lives of women. Chapters address violence against women, including those that happen in cyberspace; gender parity in the workplace, in leadership, in politics, and in the financial sector; breaking barriers and the impact of social protection on gender equality; stress and women’s health; and more.
