- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2008The book was alot cheaper than the original cost right off the shelf which is why I'm not trying to complain too much. But I'm not sure if I just skipped over that section of the condition of the book, but there was water damage. I mean i guess that's no biggie, but I wish I was told and if I was..I definitely missed it. But It was coo!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2003I was first introduced to this atlas years ago in graduate school and was immediately impressed with the depth of subjects covered and professional graphics. As a result I was very happy to purchase Penguin's third edition of this atlas last week. Hot off the presses, THE PENGUIN ATLAS OF WOMEN IN THE WORLD contains up-to-date statistics of how women fare around the world. This invaluable resource is divided into the following seven sections: Women in the World, Families, Birthrights, Body Politics, Work, To Have and Have Not, and Power. This atlas succeeds where other types of media fail - it leaves a very evident impression of the continued discrepancy between men and women in all aspects of social, economic, and political life. After studying this atlas I was left with a renewed sense of what countries women fare better than others - and the answers might surprise you as much as myself! I highly recommend THE PENGUIN ATLAS OF WOMEN IN THE WORLD to anyone interested in the state of women around the world.
