This expansive survey spotlights pervasive issues affecting girls’ and women 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 women 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 women control, autonomy, and agency in all stages of their lives.  A sampling of topics covered: Girl child marriage: a persistent global women 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, women studies, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and human rights.Â
