Description: The focus at the 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing was equality, development, and peace, with subthemes of health, education, and employment. The collected stories and impressions of these forty-three women and men - college presidents, students, teachers, home-makers, retires, writers, clergy, and entrepreneurs - reflect the region's racial, religious, ethnic, and economic diversity, and document their remarkable initiative, energy, and vision.

This is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what really happened and what they can do now.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 270-352) and index.
