The Global Status of Women and Girls is a necessary intervention in the scholarship on women and girls globally. By using a multi-disciplinary approach, the contributors are able to show the complexity of issues that women and girls face in their everyday lives from continued gender stereotypes, gender bias, violence, sexual assault, religious and political limits, and bitter attacks on women's activism. This book is required reading for anyone who wants to understand the power of patriarchy in shaping our world and see its effects on lives of individual women and girls.
