Women and their roles within families must be understood within the context of ethnic traditions, religion, and culture. Women, Families, and Feminist Politics: A Global Exploration combines all of these aspects to evaluate the similarities and differences of women around the world. Readers will learn about diverse theories relating to women and their familial roles, the different categories of feminism, and how cultures and ethnic traditions shape and sometimes restrict a womans identity.Using feminist and sociocultural theories to critically examine the role of adult women within their families, Women, Families, and Feminist Politics offers ideas and suggestions on what has to be done in order for all of womens experiences and concerns to be valued and looked upon as important. In addition to providing you with an understanding of how customs and cultures contribute to societal standards set for women, Women, Families, and Feminist Politics discusses several factors that contribute to the formation of womens roles and identity, including:the economic situation of the family and the country in which the woman lives (a developed or developing country)cultural diversity in monogamous heterosexual marriage relations and specific marriage traditions, such as dowriesfamily structures, such as nonnuclear, extended, polygamous, mixed religion relationships, mixed race relationships, or same-sex relationshipsreproduction and sexual standards in relation to religion, government policies, and world populationgender equity in the workplace and programs for women in global developmentthe health care needs of women and how they vary depending on culture, political philosophies, and resourceswomen and violence in societal and family contexts, from war rapes, female circumcision, and footbinding to battery and sexual harassmentWomen, Families, and Feminist Politics looks at the daily challenges and concerns of adult women within the context of family to help you understand the different needs of women in relation to their culture and ethnic background. Focusing on the importance of views concerning the meaning of womens social status, power, and success, Women, Families, and Feminist Politics contains case studies and statistical data that identify critical issues pertaining to you personally and to all women throughout the world. By understanding how womens families help shape their identities, you will be able to learn about the vast experiences of women and the inequalities we have yet to overcome.

CONTENTS
Kate Conway-Turner, an applied social psychologist, is the immediate past Director of the Women's Studies program and a Professor in the Department of Individual and Family Studies and the Department of Psychology at the University of Delaware. Her areas of research include international women's health, women's intergenerational relationships, marital patterns, and the impact of race and culture on the lives of women and their families. She writes and lectures in areas that reflect these research interests. Dr. Conway-Turner was a 19901993 recipient of the Kellogg's National Leadership Grant and the recipient of an American Council on Education Fellowship (19961997). She participates in a wide variety of women's studies, family studies, and ethnic studies of professional organizations.
Suzanne Cherrin is an Assistant Professor of Women's Studies at the University of Delaware. She teaches and lectures on international women's issues, with an emphasis on how world inequality and militarism affect women's lives. She is a co-editor of Women's Studies in Transition: Interdisciplinary and Identity and the author of Breast Cancer: A Critical Analysis of Advice to Women, within this text. In June 1998, Dr. Cherrin led a Women's Studies Mission to China under the sponsorship of the Citizen Ambassador Program of People to People International, with the support of the Women's Studies Institute of China and the All-China Women's Federation.
This text is the result of our ongoing discussions concerning women worldwide. We brought to these discussions our collective interest and experiences through secondary analysis and primary investigations. We are both multidisciplinary scholars who bring the breadth and diversity of sociological inquiry and social-psychological interpretation to the explorations within this text. These perspectives inform a critical examination of community and family, health and reproduction, war and peace, and other central issues that impact the lives of women. We are guided by a feminist perspective and a critical understanding of how culture and ethnicity are essential to any serious exploration of women's lives.
The discussions and information in this text center on the lives of women, often within the context of family. In some cases, women's families are socially defined and accepted, and in other cases, women's families are self-defined through fictional family connections, self-definitions of family, and shifting views of whom women identify as family members. Our focus here is adult women representing varied cultures and parts of the world. Girls are discussed only when their young lives relate to issues facing adult women or when girls assume the role of adults, although they might still be considered children in some cultures (e.g., child marriage).
The status of women in virtually every country is subordinate to men, and yet women do exercise varying degrees of control of societal resources. Our observations are far from static, as we continue to witness change in the gendered landscape of the world's societies. We find ourselves sad, angry, empathetic, and sometimes bewildered by the various contours of female/male behavior and relationships. We ask ourselves which changes are good for women and which are not. Our motivation to write this book stems from the desire to share our questions and our findings about women worldwide. We begin with the powerful images that surfaced during our discussions. Two examples are:
