Maternal and child health programs are designed as if this were a uniform category of women, or a functional category for women themselves. In this paper, Mayra Buvinić, Ph. D. (International Center for Research on Women, Washington, D.C.) and Joanne Leslie, M.S. (School of Hygiene and Public Health, Johns Hopkins Uni…
