Synopsis The word 'progress' conjures up images of purposeful movement towards a better life; of marking out and travelling a pathway to higher ground. But women have learned that it is not always easy to determine the direction in which to proceed, and whether the changes we are experiencing, and helping to bring about, take us forwards or backwards. Women live their lives in many different ways, and different women have different ideas about what would make their lives better and how to achieve this. The book urges the full development of women's personality, freedom and equal participation in the political, social, economic and cultural scenario. It speaks about and for international coalitions of diverse people, willing to negotiate both their difference and their connectedness, to promote women's dignity and rights as full and equal human beings.
