Abstract

Thirty years ago Women's Health was a field fighting for recognition in a world dominated by androcentric research, theory and clinical intervention. Today it is a rich and vibrant body of work, spanning many diverse disciplines. The health of women is now firmly on the agenda of the World Health Organization, government and research funding bodies, providers of health services and educators. Researchers, theorists and social activists continue to move knowledge and practice forwards, improving service provision for women, at the same time as we reach a greater understanding of 'what women want' regarding their health.
