"The well-being of rural communities affects the well-being of those who reside in
towns and cities because of rural-urban connections through food, drinking water,
infectious disease, extreme environmental events, recreation, and for many, retirement
residence. In rural areas themselves, women play a critical role in the health of
their families and communities, yet women's health is often marginalized or ignored.
There have been limited studies to date about rural women and health in Canada. Filling
an important gap in scholarship, this collection identifies priority issues that must
be addressed to ensure these women's well-being and offers innovative theoretical
and methodological ideas for improvement ; Rural Women's Health integrates perspectives
from rural practitioners, residents, and scholars in a variety of fields, including
nursing, sociology, anthropology, and geography, to tackle issues relevant to diverse
settings across the country. As such, it presents a national perspective on the nature
of women's health while respecting internal and regional diversity, as well as viewpoints
from international scholarship."--Pub. desc
