Mujeres de los Andes

"Rich collection of articles by anthropologists, economists, historians, physicians, and sociologists reflects on the complexity and diversity of issues associated with women's participation in traditional and non-traditional socio-cultural roles in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Issues addressed include the relationship between illness and pregnancy in different ethnic groups within both urban and rural areas, female participation in civil society, and violence in gender relations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
