'This book clearly reviews similarities and differences in
women and men's physical and mental health as shaped by both
gender and sex-linked biology, and also varying by outcome and by
age, class, race-ethnicity, sexuality and global region.
Refreshingly resisting misleading simplifications, Sarah Payne
encourages critical thinking about gender, biology and population
health.' Nancy Krieger, Harvard School of Public Health
'In this highly topical book, Payne provides comprehensive
synthesis of research evidence on the relationship between sex,
gender and health. Researchers and policy-makers have only recently
begun to take an inclusive approach to gender and health. The
health of men and women will be an indispensable resource for the
development of research and practice.' Ellen Annandale,
University of Leicester
'It is difficult to imagine a more timely book on gender
and health. Women's health movement, research advocacy and
theory emerging more than three decades ago. The study of
men's health and gender did not fully issue until the
1990's. Until now, these two areas of inquiry and health
policy have developed separately, and the pursuit of gender equity
in public health has been stymied by a lack of integrative vision.
Sarah Payne provides a conceptual bridge between these growing sub
fields with this lucidly written, well-documented and comprenhsive
analysis of gender differences and similarities between
women's' and men's health around the
globe.' Don Sabo, D'Youville College
