The Trapped Woman examines the ways in which gender-based definitions of deviant behaviour affect the treatment of women and their access to resources in contemporary society. The contributors argue that many of the standards that define 'normal behaviour for men paradoxically label the same behaviour 'deviant for women. The policy implications of such gender-based definitions are examined with reference to mental health, drug use, crime, poverty and single parent families, employment and physical health areas.
