| Summary |
"This book examines transformations in the feminine agenda of the 1980s and 1990s and explores just what women's policy and policy structures in 2000 and beyond might look like. It will appeal to students across a range of disciplines, policy makers, advisers and workers in government and non-government organisations, and all women seeking to understand the policy changes they are witnessing."--Jacket |
