Growing Up Female in New Brunswick 1970-2000 , book, April 2001
The situation of women from infancy through to senior years is considered, with a focus on the key areas of health, education and economic autonomy. Attention is given to analyzing some specifics such as the similarities and the variations experienced by anglophone, francophone, and Aboriginal women living in both urban and rural communities. The publication presents a series of statistical portraits of women's situation, an inventory of problems and possibilities as well as an overview of policy and program responses to the needs of girls and women. In addition, it looks back at the road traveled over the past thirty years and highlights the progress made over the same time period.
