Education and women's health: A gender perspective.

Using a gender perspective, this paper presents a critical bibliographic review of several projects and experiences focused on education and women's health. It aims to analyze some assumptions related to women's health on which different works and practices are based and reproduced in society. Several examples are given which, by illustrating women's living conditions and their experiences, make it possible to visualize some links between women's oppressed conditions of living and their health conditions. This paper concludes by emphasizing the need to constantly analyze social reality from a critical viewpoint; this would enable us to question and reformulate the logic underlying social organizations and health care, which emphasizes the women's maternal role and overlooks their health and well-being as a whole.
