Common Whores, Vertuous Women, and Loveing Wives
By: Meyers, Debra A.
Published by: Indiana University Press
Religious conflicts had a pronounced effect on women and their families in early modern England, but our understanding of that impact is limited by the restrictions that prevented the open expression of religious beliefs in the post-Reformation years. More can be gleaned by shifting our focus to the New World. By closely examining thousands of wills and other personal documents, as well as early Maryland's material culture, this transatlantic study depicts women's place in society and the ways religious values and social arrangements shaped their lives.

Comprender la salud de los hombres
By: Don Sabo
Published by: Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)
Este trabajo trata la salud de los hombres dentro de un marco feminista crítico, con el fin de comprender mejor el factor género. Se dice que determinadas construcciones sociales de masculinidad incrementan el riesgo de morbilidad y de mortalidad en los hombres. Como las relaciones entre los géneros en diversos contextos institucionales son recíprocas, se argumenta que la atribución de género a los comportamientos de los hombres en relación con su salud pueden influir también en el estado de salud de las mujeres. Con el fin de ilustrar diversas sinergias positivas y negativas en salud entre hombres y mujeres relacionadas con el factor género, se desarrolla una teoría relacional de género y salud. El trabajo concluye con un abordaje relacional para comprender la salud del hombre dentro del contexto, más amplio, de los movimientos en pro de la salud de la mujer y de la equidad de género en salud.
