About this title

Synopsis

Women's Health in India examines women's health problems over the life-cycle of Indian women - from childhood through the productive and reproductive years to old age. The major focus is on reproductive health problems in the context of the disadvantaged position of women. It also looks at gender bias against female children and the position of older women and widows in their social environment.
