The Women's Atlas

Joni Seager's visually stunning survey of up-to-the-minute global data redefines what is meant by an atlas. Her incisive prose combined with the creative use of illustration, charts and infographics portray as never before how women are living across continents and cultures--the advances that have been made and the distances still to be travelled. The result is the most comprehensive and accessible global analysis of key issues facing women today: gender equality, literacy and information technology, feminism, the culture of beauty, work and the global economy, changing households, domestic violence, LGBTQ rights, government and power, motherhood, and more. World events demonstrate that equality for women isn't only a women's issue: when women fulfil their potential, everyone benefits. Completely updated and redesigned, this new edition of Joni Seager's award-winning classic illustrates how women live across continents and cultures, and charts the status of women worldwide -- the advances they have made and the distances still to be travelled.
