Women's roles and the great world transformation

Abstract

The constructive worldwide processes of reform that have brought about, among other things, a reversal in attitudes towards birth control, sex, women's rights, marriage, and the family are competing with the disasters of famine, war, and economic collapse as the old structures break down under new global problems. If we are to survive, thousands of problems must be solved and our efforts "orchestrated" so as to fit together, at every level from personal awareness to global management. Women must identify the many areas of special concern to them, where their new analyses and reform efforts are needed to reverse the false goals and practices of centuries of male-dominated societies. One example is the crucial need for new analyses and design efforts for improved family structures.
