Book excerpt: Women in a Global World V: From Health to Art, Economy to Politics offers an in-depth exploration of women's roles, challenges, and achievements across diverse domains in today's interconnected world. Edited by Zeynep Banu Dalaman, this volume gathers insights from leading scholars and researchers, dissecting the multifaceted issues impacting women globally and regionally. Organized into six sections, the book begins with the harsh realities of gender inequality, violence, and the institutional support available to women, including discussions on the effects of gender apartheid and misogyny. Moving to the realm of artistic and literary expression, it highlights female resilience and creativity, showcasing iconic figures like Grace Nichols and Paula Scher, and examining the evolution of women’s roles from traditional forms to modern representation. The third section delves into the unique vulnerabilities women face during disasters, including invisible labor and health challenges, while the fourth addresses the economic empowerment of women through employment initiatives, the hurdles of workplace inequality, and strategies for economic resilience. Health-focused topics in the fifth section bring attention to reproductive health, midwifery, and evidence-based practices that impact women’s well-being across life stages. Finally, the book examines women’s political and media representation, from the historical legacy of female leaders to contemporary issues such as gender quotas and gendered disinformation. By interweaving these perspectives, Women in a Global World V provides a profound understanding of women’s ongoing struggle for equality, creativity, and empowerment within a rapidly changing global landscape. Ideal for scholars, policymakers, activists, and anyone interested in the intersections of gender, society, and global dynamics, this volume is a vital resource for understanding and supporting women’s roles in shaping the future.
