Women's Health and the Limits of Law: Domestic and International Perspectives is an important book. Dr. Iyioha (ed.) and the book's contributors provide a critical analysis of the promise of, and limits to, the role of law in furthering women's health. This thoughtful and provocative book will be of interest to scholars, policy-makers, and advocates who are concerned with women's health, human rights, feminist jurisprudence, intersectionality, and global perspectives on health.

This edited collection is timely, original and a true interdisciplinary contribution. The whole collection is structured on a strong, common theoretical foundation that provides a novel lens through which to view and understand the deeply entrenched debates within feminism regarding culture, gender, and legal orders around the globe. This book contains a broad range of topics and perspectives on a wide variety of subjects related to women's health, and brings together a diverse and accomplished group of scholars to address empirical, political, legal and cultural aspects of women's health in a global context. It will add to the scholarly debates within legal theory, feminism, health law and ethics, and will be of interest to students, researchers, academics and law-makers around the globe.
