    About the Extended Version

    This extended version of Global Women’s Issues: Women in the World Today includes a chapter summary, key words, multiple choice questions, discussion questions, essay questions, and a list of additional resources for each chapter. This work was funded, in part, by an Ancillary Development Grant provided by the B.C. Open Textbook Project.

    The B.C. Open Textbook Project began in 2012 with the goal of making post-secondary education in British Columbia more accessible by reducing student cost through the use of openly licensed textbooks. The B.C. Open Textbook Project is administered by BCcampus and funded by the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education and the Hewlett Foundation.

    Open textbooks are open educational resources (OER); they are instructional resources created and shared in ways so that more people have access to them. This is a different model than traditionally copyrighted materials. OER are defined as “teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.” (Hewlett Foundation).

    If you are an instructor who is using this book for a course, please fill out the Adoption of an Open Textbook form.
