Summary: The State of Women in the World Atlas captures the shape of women's lives across continents and cultures. A decade after the first edition of this atlas, Joni Seager explores the shifts that have occurred and portrays the current status of women in relation to such key issues as equality, changing households, motherhood, domestic violence, feminisms, time budgets, beauty culture, girl children, women at work, lesbian rights, women in the global economy, and women in government. Maps, text and other graphics show clearly the gains that women are making - and the many inequalities that persist. Above all, the atlas once again demonstrates that the better the state of women, the better the state of the world.
