Description

Abstract: Health care for women and their responsibility toward that care is explained. Factors that exert influence on a woman are: the environment and the interactions between genetic and environmental factors. The latter is fairly set in terms of hormonal influences, but the former is manipulated from early life stages especially by the way parents reinforce societal sex differences. Parents react differently to their daughter's and their son's behavior patterns. The son's aggressive behavior is channeled into ambition. Being a well women means coming to grips with the biological and political forces that influence women and developing ways to use these forces positively. Women must take care of their physical and mental health to be independent and enjoy life. (kbc).
