- Synopsis
- For students in grades nine and up, Thomsen presents information on the history and current state of women's rights in the US and different contexts abroad, specifically Denmark, China, Afghanistan, and Kenya. Topics encompass violence against women, key issues and events, women's suffrage, religion and spirituality, family health and sexuality, civil rights, gender roles, and social, employment, and economic rights. Presented in the second section are primary source documents from the US and other parts of the world, such as the US 1848 Declaration of Rights and Sentiments, China's 2002 Population and Family Planning Law, and the United Nations Convention on All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. This is followed by a section containing research tools, including brief biographies of key individuals, facts, an annotated bibliography, a list of international organizations and agencies, and a chapter on how to research the women's rights movement. Thomsen is a writer and editor specializing in health care, human interest, and women's issues. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
