No Paradise Yet: The World's Women Face the New CenturyJudith Mirsky, Marty Radlett The women's movement was probably the most influential social phenomenon of the last quarter of the 20th century. Many governments were forced to respond to its calls for change. In 1979 a new international convention rejecting all forms of discrimination against women was born. Twenty years later it has been ratified by 165 countries. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century, millions of women worldwide are still denied the most fundamental rights. |
