Engendering the Global Agenda: The Story of Women and the United Nations.

This book covers more than eighty years of history between women and inter-governmental organizations. Unrecorded by history and untold by the media, this book recalls the success story of women and the League of Nations, and describes the unfolding history of women at the United Nations up to the great progress for advancement and empowerment of women that was achieved in the last decade of the 20th century. It was the international women’s movement, which was itself in the making at the time, that had an impact on the foresight reflected in the principles governing the creation of the United Nations.
