This expansive survey spotlights pervasive issues affecting girls and womens sexual and reproductive health across the lifecourse. Research from diverse countries around the world analyzes the complex relationships among biological, psychological, sociocultural, and economic issues-particularly in terms of inequities-as they shape womens lives. Major challenges and possibilities for intervention are examined in their national context and with their global implications, including child marriage/motherhood, reproductive care and access, fertility, childbearing, contraception, abortion, HIV/STIs, gender-based violence, sexual pleasure, and menopause. In these forceful dispatches, a consistent human rights perspective emphasizes womens control, autonomy, and agency in all stages of their lives. A sampling of topics covered: Girl child marriage: a persistent global womens health and human rights violation Investigating challenges and resilience among women living with obstetric fistula in Kenya A qualitative exploration of mainstream and social media reflections on abortion A continuum of severity of sexual intimate partner violence among black women in the United States Economic empowerment to improve sexual and reproductive health among women and girls Summarizing an interdisciplinary field on research and practical levels, Global Perspectives on Womens Sexual and Reproductive Health Across the Lifecourse will be an invaluable text for undergraduate and graduate courses in a wide range of fields, including public health, global health, womens studies, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and human rights. Shonali Choudhury, PhD, MMH, was born on December 17, 1979 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and died in Miami, FL on November 14, 2014. She graduated from Saint Johns School in the Condado of San Juan and completed her B.A. at Bard College in upstate New York. As a child she wanted to be a medical doctor, but during her university years she decided to study social problems that affect health. Her senior thesis looked at mental health care of uprooted Puerto Ricans in upstate New York. After graduation she worked with the HIV Health Services Planning Council in Newark, NJ and went on to earn a PhD in Public Health at UCLA in 2009, where she earned the Elizabeth Blackwell Award for outstanding work on womens health. Her research on female sex workers in Tijuana for her dissertation required personal courage that reflected her passionate commitment to womens rights and helping disadvantaged populations gain access to health care. After graduation Shonali worked with the Hispanic Health Council and the Institute for Community Research in Hartford, CT, and then accepted a position as Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing and Health Studies at the University of Miami. The multicultural atmosphere and the receptive attitude toward qualitative research made her feel immediately at home. She loved her students and her research. Shonali fought a long battle with the brain tumor that took her life, undermining her capacity to do the work she loved, affecting her eyesight, speech and coordination. She is remembered for her love of animals, holidays and gourmet cooking, as well as her bright smile and steadfast loyalty to her friends. In Shonalis honor, the Department of Community Health Sciences at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health created a scholarship fund in her name that honors her legacy for public health and social justice. A special Shonali Choudhury Fund was established within the Puerto Rico Community Foundation to promote womens rights, health and education. The Fund has given grants to a womens shelter for victims of violence, and a feminist community organization to promote sex education for adolescents geared to the prevention of sexual aggression.
