<p><strong>`Helen Roberts edited collection reminds us again of the importance of what has happened around women's health issues, and the wealth of research and knowledge that exists. The articles span a range of important themes, such as Jenny Douglas's contribution on the health of black women and the need to continue to critically assess the limitations of research approaches in order to understand the complex interplay of class, race and gender.'</strong> - <em>Medical Sociology News</em><br /><br /><strong>`Helen Roberts has succeeded in producing an immensely valuable book... the consistency of the women-orientated and research-based approach to care is admirable. This book is not only essential reading for all concerned with the care of women, but also a valuable textbook for those involved in research as either researchers or as consumers.`</strong> - <em>Nurse Education Today</em></p>
