'Gender, one of the most misunderstood but important determinants of health, is expertly analysed, reviewed and critiqued in this invaluable book. Jasmine Gideon and her co-authors deliver a comprehensive analysis of the meanings of both gender and health, and discuss both contemporary and more recent historical debates about the relationship between the two. With voices from the global north and south, and from both men and women, this book will be invaluable reading for anyone (academics, practitioners, advocates, activists) concerned with ensuring the links between gender and health - whether as determinant, outcome, or system response - are fully acknowledged, understood and addressed in order to improve health outcomes for everyone.'
