Synopsis "Society is generally sensitised to the injustice perpetuated on women over the centuries. The incorporation of the sacred dimension of the feminine through the development of new archetypes and cultural myths is a major aspect of the paradigm shift needed at this time. "This book is a comprehensive research on the linkages between women’s rights and demographic processes. It calls our attention towards the need of an organised mass women’s movement that challenges and transforms all existing evils against women and violations of their rights."
