Includes bibliographical references. --- Review, November 2005: Women and women's organizations have played an active role in protecting and enriching women's rights. With the growing influence of the fundamentalist movement in both Canada and the United States, women must continue to work hard to improve the lives of women. Advocating for rights is something organizations do well. But as an individual, it might feel overwhelming. This book can help. It speaks to women who aren't policy experts but who are living the issues that women's organizations speak so passionately about. Experts describe the issues and offer concrete, doable things to help, no matter how much or how little time we have to dedicate to these causes at any given moment. The essays are grouped together into sections, and the book starts with the section "Do It for Your Health." Not surprising, really, because we can't accomplish much without good health for ourselves and our loved ones.
