Clare Wenham

Recenzje

Clare Wenham is a rising star in global health politics whose work on gender, feminism, and global health security is path-breaking and inspiring. Her writing style is clear and accessible, and she combines theoretical sophistication with data-driven empirical research from Brazil. In this book, Clare turns the emphasis on gender in global health from representation (are women involved in decisions?) to the impact of global health security on women's lives. This is incredibly timely given the disproportionate impact the current COVID-19 pandemic has had on women in terms of unemployment, childcare responsibilities, and poverty across the world. Clare's book is a must-read for global health students, researchers, and policy-makers trying to ensure that the gendered impact of outbreaks, and their responses, are appropriately and fully considered.
