Women's Lives is an anthology composed of 60 readings that examine the full range and diversity of women's lives. The author begin with an overview of the on-going relevance of gender to people's experiences, then describes the analytical perspectives that guide this book: social constructionism, intersectionality, anti-dualism, and globalization. The first part includes three readings that elaborate on the theoretical framework of these perspectives. The remaining ten parts address various aspects of women's lives, including: girlhood and adolescence, economics and work, the body, violence, sexualities, mothering and the family, resistance and social change, culture and creativity, migration and globalization, and spirituality and religion. These divisions are somewhat arbitrary and overlapping as women's lives are not neatly bounded in topical categories. The contributions in each section include poetry, personal narratives, research reports, and theoretical analyses. All are written in a manner that is accessible and avoids academic jargon.
