Women constitute about half of the human population. They play a significant role in development of our society. Every woman has her own job or duty in this modern society in which men are still the strongest gender. We can’t forget that women’s life is a lot more complicated than a man’s life. A woman has to take care of her own personal life and if she is a mother, she has to take care also about her children’s life too. Married women have lots of worries and believe it or not, they carry out a more stressful life than married men. In the present work, very succinct information is gathered under five titles encompassing all vital issues concerning the women. It consists of volumes viz. women and development, women and family welfare; women and crime, women and globalisation; women empowerment. Featuring comprehensive global coverage of women’s issues and concerns, from movements and human rights to feminist roles, this encyclopaedic work brings the field into proper perspective for the scholars and students alike. It reviews the condition of women around the world, and provides in-depth information on issues such as women’ role in family and social welfare, women and work, marriage and motherhood, sustainable livelihoods, feminist movements, impacts of economic reforms on women, and more. This set is destined to become the resource of choice in the field of women’s studies.
