Women Issues conference

There has been an invitation since August 2007 to contribute your views on women issues. Many of our fellow colleagues responded favourably. Reminding you once again that deadline for sending an abstract is December 30th 2007.
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE AND PROMOTE WOMEN ISSUES
A PROLOGUE -- Globalization in its simplest sense means the intensification of its social and economic network at global level. It also has become a popular derivative in the current intellectual discourse about contemporary society analyzing changing economic, political and cultural spheres of life at global level (that is largely beyond our reach) and its impact on local parlance (that we are destined to face). Under such climate of socio - political and economic transition, discreteness and differences, the moot issue today is the status of women, its changing pattern of productive -reproductive process and the future opportunities or ambiguities of her changing status. A series of critique comes from feminist perspectives of gender discrimination, exploitation and victimization oriented discourse and dilemmas that raise the critical issues of freedom of women in the male sphere of social and political hierarchy. The present theme of the proposed Work thus aims to explore various dimensions of real-life-situation that women are confronting today in the context of globalization. We, therefore, invite scholars, activists, academia to come forward to share their view in the form of articles, case studies and research papers to contribute to publish an edited volume of �Book� under the broader theme of
GLOBALISATION AND CHANGING STATUS OF WOMEN: EMERGING ISSUES AND CHALLENGES.

Excellent blog!!! Really very interesting.

I too came across a website “Woman Issues” which is a perfect guide to women's health, beauty, family, pregnancy and finance. I hope some of this helps.
