International contributors in a variety of disciplines, including kinesiology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, gender studies, and criminology, reflect on gender and feminism in Canada and in other parts of the world. Chapters are in sections on negotiations for equality in contested spaces, policies on inclusion and equity, reproductive labor and economy, health and violence, and sports and bodies. A global synthesis is presented for each of the five themes, looking at general trends and prospects for change. Some specific subjects addressed include feminist perspectives among religious women in Canada, citizenship and gender in Nepal, and gender inequality in Swedish legislation of Sami reindeer herding. Other subjects are Filipino migrant hotel workers in rural Manitoba, women mineworkers in South Africa, and contraceptive side effects and Kassena women in Northern Ghana.
