The Status of Women: Worldwide Trends -- Women's Lives in Contemporary Chinese Societies -- About Asian Indian Women: Stereotypes, Fabrications, and Lived Realities -- Women in Indonesia -- Women in Iran -- Women in Egypt -- Psychosocial Perspectives of Cameroonian Women -- Women in South Africa: Striving for Full Equality Post-Apartheid -- Women's Identities and Roles in Italy -- Women Today in French Society -- The Status of Women: Brazil -- Women in Mexico: Advances in Their Status and Well-being -- Women in Belize -- Women in the United States.

This wide-ranging collection analyzes the status and advancement of women both in a national context and collectively on a global scale, as a powerful social force in a rapidly evolving world. The countries studied--China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Egypt, Cameroon, South Africa, Italy, France, Brazil, Belize, Mexico, and the United States--represent a cross-section of economic conditions, cultural and religious traditions, political realities, and social contexts that shape women's lives, challenges, and opportunities. Psychological and human rights perspectives highlight worldwide goals for equality and empowerment, with implications for today's girls as they become the next generation of women. Throughout these chapters, women's lived experience is compared and contrasted in such critical areas as: Home and work lives Physical, medical, and psychological issues Safety and violence Sexual and reproductive concerns Political participation and status under the law Impact of technology and globalism Country-specific topics Women's Evolving Lives is a forward-facing reference for psychology professionals of varied disciplines, as well as for colleagues in other fields, including women's and gender studies, sociology, anthropology, international studies, and education. The wide scope of concerns also makes this anthology relevant and instructive to readers in diverse non-academic settings.
