Making It Better: Gender-transformative Health Promotion

by Lorraine Greaves (Editor), Ann Pederson (Editor), Nancy Poole (Editor)

Editors Greaves, Pederson, and Poole present students, academics, and researchers with a collection of academic articles and scholarly essays that together provide an investigation into the argument that health promotion is failing communities by failing women. The editors have organized the fifteen contributions that make up the main body of the text in three sections devoted to shifting health promotion policy, practice, and research for the improvement of women’s health, status, and empowerment. Lorraine Greaves and Nancy Poole are employed by the BC Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health. Ann Pederson is employed by BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre.
