An important focus of anthropological research following the rebirth of the women's movement in the late sixties has been the nature of gender inequality around the world. This collection of lecture outlines, discussion questions, annotated bibliographies, and suggestions for an interdisciplinary reading program for teachers and student bridges the gap between the abundant new research and the college classroom. Part I covers gender stratification, the economic status of women, Marxist and modernization theories, and studies of women and religion. Part II focuses on women in India, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania, the Islamic Middle East, and Chine.

This guide promises to be a major asset in introductory courses on cross-cultural studies of women. Part 1 deals with such theoretical issues as biological/cultural determinism, male dominance, the impact of colonialism and national development on women, gender stratification, and women and religion. Historical and cultural surveys of women in India, China, Oceania, sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Islamic Middle East and North Africa make up Part 2. Each section includes a bibliographic essay, readings for teachers and students, lecture topics, and discussion questions. Most references appear to be from the 1970s. However, both the format and materials make this book invaluable at high school and college levels. Frada L. Mozenter, Univ. of North Carolina at Charlotte Lib.
