The Sisterhood of Man

The role of women is in the midst of profound change all over the world. In this book, Kathleen Newland outlines the dimensions of the change and assesses its impact on economic and social patterns. Newland illustrates many of the forces that are altering the conditions that have for centuries determined women’s lot in life. These forces set the stage for what is likely to be a major departure for women from the restrictive, narrowly defined patterns of the past.
