Women and Children in Health Care: An Unequal Majority
Mary Briody Mahowald. 281 pages. New York: Oxford University Press; 1993. $39.95.
A thorough, well-documented analysis and discussion of a wide range of issues on care and treatment of women and children that is of equal quality despite sex and age status. The scope goes well beyond concerns in gynecology, obstetrics, and pediatrics and extends, for example, to socialization in adolescence, poverty, and family dynamics. Hence, this is a book with relevance for all practitioners, but especially those with broad perspectives such as general internists and family practitioners.
