This book examines the current status of women. It consists of a
collection of papers that focus on the political, economic,
biologic, cultural, academic and psychological challenges that
confront women worldwide. The contributors, from the International
Psychoanalytical Association’s United Nations Committee and from a
variety of disciplines, draw on their experience to consider how
women are symbolized in society today. They offer perspectives on
why the status of women and girls has not changed in some areas of
the world while in others there has been discrete and noteworthy
progress, sometimes followed by reactionary backlash. The book
emphasizes how and why women’s status has evolved, stalled or
regressed to its present place. In the current era of
globalization, new paradigms and the creation of new possibilities
are necessary for women to think about their identity, their
relationships, and their place in society.
