In this book the author fills a much needed empirical study of women?»s reproductive health. She assesses data from 136 developing countries and challenges the prevailing bioscience and public health models by linking women?»s reproductive health to gender equality measures and development policies. This is a timely study which provides a theoretical and social policy basis for monitoring and improving women?»s reproductive health in developing countries. This is particularly important in the light of insufficient research in the field and a lack of analysis on the empirical and theoretical linkages between reproductive health and gender equality.
