Book excerpt: Derived from a conference held by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Populations, these papers are extremely wide-ranging and explore a variety of ways in which the position of women in a culture affects, or is itself affected by, demographic patterns of population change. Many of the papers are concerned with the links between the changing position of women in many cultures and the demographic transition to a situation of low birth and death rates.
