About the product
'A revolution has begun and there is no going back'. So spoke Gertrude Mongella, Secretary-General of the Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, September 1995). The revolution is manifest in the stirring changes taking place in the status of the world's women. This updated edition of WOMEN: Challenges to the Year 2000, contributes significantly to the revolution. It reviews the dramatic opportunities becoming available to women, especially in the areas of health and work. The book concludes with Mrs. Mongella's urgent call for commitments to action - commitments of will as well as resources - to take advantage of these opportunities.
