Women and Inequality in a Changing World: Exploring New Paradigms for Peace

Women and Inequality in a Changing World explores the obstacles women continue to face to their equal participation in all areas of daily life -- political, social, and economic -- which persist despite the growth in the education of girls, large scale social movements, and political waves.

The volume widens and deepens understanding of women in relation to the inequalities they face, based not only on gender, but also on race, class, religion, and more. It also highlights the progress that women have made, and how this progress contributes to the creation of more peaceful and prosperous societies. This interdisciplinary book brings together leading scholars and practitioners from across the globe to provide a wide range of perspectives and experiences, examine crucial questions, and offer new ideas and innovative solutions to increasing the role of women moving forward.

This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of gender studies, women's studies, and political science, as well as practitioners working at the intersection of women and global issues.
