Summary

Silent Voices offers a unique collection of articles that examine a number of issues concerning the second-class status of women world-wide. Issues of development, work, and media perception are but a few of the topics addressed in light of oppressive social, economic, political, and religious global structures. Will what has been called "A New Decade for Women" change this imbalance of power or will the inequality be perpetuated? These essays offer some much needed insight.
