Review

"In a skillfully crafted volume, the editors have brought together the diverse insights of an outstanding collection of contributors into a path-breaking synthesis of new visions in gender and global health. A must for all global health scientists, policy-makers, and practitioners."--Lincoln Chen, Director, Global Equity Initiative, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

"In Engendering International Health, recognized world authorities in their fields deal with a complex subject in a readable, scientifically sound, objective, and comprehensive way. For anyone concerned about health equity, this book provides an indispensable gender lens that brings into focus an important dimension of inequity that is often overlooked."--Mahmoud F. Fathalla, Professor, Assiut University, Egypt, and Former President, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics

"Engendering International Health is truly innovative and unique, both in the way it brings together evidence from high- and low-income countries and in its multidimensional approach to health equity, offering rare insights into the interactions between gender and other social determinants. The book will serve as a major reference work for research and policy analysis in the fields of gender, equity, and health for years to come."--Margaret Whitehead, W. H. Duncan Chair of Public Health, University of Liverpool, UK

"This book provides a brilliant analysis of gender and equity that helps to explain the social determinants of health and ill health. The authors demonstrate why gender analysis must be on national and international health agendas if we want to effectively address the needs of the poor and marginalized, most of whom are women. I am sure that this book will be helpful for researchers, policymakers, and activists interested in designing policies and strategies to reduce inequities and promote women's health and rights."--Pascoal Mocumbi, Prime Minister of Mozambique
