The book "Reaching for Health, the Australian women's health movement and public policy" by Gwendolyn Gray Jamieson will be launched by Prof Dorothy Broom on 10 February at the staff library, ANU law school, 4-6PM. The book is a history of the controversial feminist women's health movement and its place as part of the health reform movement that began in the 1970s. It traces the impact the movement has been able to exercise on public policy since that time.

Gwendolyn Gray Jamieson is an adjunct fellow in the School of Politics and International Relations at The Australian National University, where she previously taught and wrote on Australian and international health and welfare policies, focusing on the way policies affect women. She has written on health and women's health in Australia and Canada and on the impact of federal and multilevel governance institutions on women's equality seeking efforts.
