Worcester (women's studies and continuing studies, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) and Whatley (women's studies and education, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) offer a textbook on women's health issues ranging from women and the health care system, inequalities and health, gender roles, sex, and marketing, to menstruation, mental health, intimate partner violence, alcohol and tobacco issues, food and body image, and sexuality. They consider fertility and reproductive rights, childbirth, aging, and the politics of disease. Each of the thirteen chapters has several key articles previously published in journals and books since the 1970s by scholars and doctors--about 140 items total. The fourth edition has been updated to reflect current perspectives and debates. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
