BIBLIOGRAPHY: WOMEN AND GENETICS


We highlight the first book to concentrate on issues dealing with the impact of the new genetics on women:

Rothenberg, Karen H., and Elizabeth J. Thomson, eds. 1994. Women and Prenatal Testing: Facing the Challenges of Genetic Technology. Columbus: Ohio State University Press. For a list of articles included in this book, see Table of Contents

We also highlight the special issue of the Journal of the American Medical Women's Association (JAMWA) on Genetics and Women's Health. Winter, 1997 Volume 52, Number 1.

Note: The word Rothenberg links to the author's chapter in the Rothenberg and Thomson book, Women and Prenatal Testing.
