Unjust Conditions follows the lives and labors of poor mothers in rural Peru, richly documenting the ordeals they face to participate in mainstream poverty alleviation programs. Championed by behavioral economists and the World Bank, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are praised as efficient mechanisms for changing poor people's behavior. While rooted in good intentions and dripping with the rhetoric of social inclusion, CCT programs' successes ring hollow, based solely on metrics for children’s attendance at school and health appointments. Looking beyond these statistics reveals a host of hidden costs for the mothers who meet the conditions. With a poignant voice and keen focus on ethnographic research, Tara Patricia Cookson turns the reader’s gaze to women’s care work in landscapes of grossly inadequate state investment, cleverly drawing out the tensions between social inclusion and conditionality.

What is women’s empowerment, and how and why does it matter for women’s health? These are questions that the University of California Global Health Institute’s (UCGHI) Center of Expertise (COE) on Women’s Health, Gender, and Empowerment aimed to answer with this book. Since 2009 the COE has brought together a multidisciplinary network of experts from across the University of California (UC) campuses and departments, along with their global partners, to advance research and education on what has become a capstone theme in the global health and development agenda: women’s and girls’ empowerment and health. Women’s Empowerment and Global Health demonstrates the outcomes of COE's commitment to advance pedagogy and present the work of thought leaders in this domain. Despite the rise of a human rights–based approach to health and increasing awareness of the synergies between women’s health and empowerment, a lack of consensus remains as to how to operationalize empowerment in ways that improve health. Women’s Empowerment and Global Health presents thirteen multidisciplinary case studies that demonstrate how science and advocacy can be creatively merged to enhance the agency and status of girls and women. The book is organized into two sections, the first focused on sociocultural, educational, and health systems interventions, and the second on economic, policy, and structural interventions. Seven of the chapters are enriched by complementary videos that provide readers with context about programs in India, Kenya, the United States, Mexico, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Women’s Empowerment and Global Health provides the next generation of researchers and practitioners, as well as students in global and public health, sociology, anthropology, women’s studies, law, business, and medicine, with cutting-edge and inspirational examples of programs that point the way toward achieving women’s equality and the positive outcome of empowerment on health.

In constructing this document cluster, we have sought to provide sources to help scholars and students explore the many facets of American missionary involvement in introducing a new system of medical care to China in all their complexities. The collection includes writings from American women missionary physicians, American women nurses, and Chinese women physicians and nurses who had been educated in mission institutions. Also included are writings from Chinese women in debates about the health of Chinese women, giving insight into subjects such as Chinese views on birth control and the practice of “breast binding” which have rarely been treated by English-language scholars. The collection ranges from the 1890s to the end of the 1940s, with later reminiscences that range into the 1980s. This essay is intended to provide historical context for the documents and to point out some ways that we see change over time through the documents. In particular, we can see, as the twentieth century progressed, a growing struggle among both American and Chinese writers with issues of race, imperialism, and nationalism in providing health care to Chinese women.

Although U.S. political and military efforts in Indochina ended in failure, the civilian aid workers’ record is more complicated. As the documents included in this cluster suggest, women volunteers’ time in Southeast Asia had a profound and often positive effect on their lives as well as those of some people in their host country. Some of these women maintained relationships with people they had met or taught in Vietnam. Some of the programs the American women introduced continued after their departure. Although they have largely been erased from official histories of U.S. involvement in Indochina, women aid workers played an important role and their experiences deserve to be shared.

Quapaw Elder Ardina Revard Moore (the narrator of the accompanying video documentary, “Quapaw Culture”) lives up to her Quapaw name, "Ma-shru-Ghi-Ta" – “Eagle Feather that Gets Up." Profoundly influenced by her grandfather, Victor Griffin (1873-1958), who was the last chief of the Quapaw Tribe (1929-1956-57), she grew up with him and her grandmother, Minnie Griffin, in a traditional Quapaw household. Her grandfather instilled in her a respect for education, as well as an appreciation for tribal customs and Dhegiha (O-Gah-Pah) Siouan language. The Dhegiha Siouan language family falls into several well-defined subgroups: Omaha, Ponca, Kansa, Osage, and Quapaw. The Omahas and Poncas live in what is now eastern Nebraska and speak virtually the same language. The Kansa (Kaw) tribe is in northeastern Kansas, and their language was mutually intelligible with that of the Osages, whose domain is mostly in southwestern Missouri. All the dialects of the five languages are very much alike. However, the Quapaws were the only Dhegiha speakers in the Lower Mississippi River Valley in the seventeenth century. Her life story is deeply rooted in maintaining strong family ties, connecting tribes that speak Dhegiha Sioux, and promoting education.
