‘This book is a valuable collection of original articles that brings together developments in feminist scholarship in the field of women's health on both sides of the Atlantic.’ Barbara Harrison, Feminist Review, Nov 1986 ‘This book is a cross-cultural effort of authors from the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. What is impressive, given the differences in the health care systems, is the similarity of the issues faced by women in all three countries.’ Lucy M. Candlib, Family Systems Medicine 4 (1)
