B> This thorough revision of A World Full of Women will appeal to all
readers interested in anthropology, or any reader looking for a
global approach to the study of women. "Reading this book is like
sitting down for an intellectually stimulating, yet thoroughly
comfortable, chat with this author," according to a reviewer. Written
by an anthropologist who has taught undergraduates for 28 years and
designed the first official Women's Studies course in Louisiana, this
book has been forged in the classroom and fueled by the explosion of
research on women since the 1970s. One reviewer describes the book as
an "especially strong in its anthropological grounding, in its
appropriate theoretical orientation, its selected ethnographic
detail, and in the way it invites participation on the part of its
readers." Another reviewer writes, "Ward has achieved a rare thing:
an accessible, interesting, personable, opinioned text, combined with
the comprehensiveness that makes texts valuable." For those
interested in the anthropology of women, gender studies, and/or
sociology.
