WOMEN AND PRESSURE: DIVING AND ALTITUDE (Caroline E. Fife, MD and Marguerite St.
Leger Dowse. Hardcover, 415 pages, photos, CD Rom included): 12,30 €
Women and Pressure is a remarkable look at women’s progress in the fields of diving and altitude. With content
ranging from the history of women divers, combat pilots, and astronauts to the unique physiological characteristics
of females working and playing in altered barometric pressure environments, this book is long overdue. Featuring
contributions from 35 authors, many of whom are pioneers in their field, it represents a wide range of disciplines
and offers a comprehensive dialogue about the effects of pressure on women. This book is a must-read for women
divers, dive instructors, men who dive with women, and anyone involved in these fields.
As an admirable collection of the current research and attitudes regarding the most frequent concerns of divers,
instructors, and aviators, topics are explored on a level of seriousness and urgency. The essays included in this text
contain crucial discussions of such relevant factors as: pregnancy, the menstrual cycle and decompression illness,
decompression illness susceptibility compared with men, fitness to dive, thermal tolerance, equipment, legal issues,
and women in the workplace. The pool of information in this book displays the serious nature of a text addressing the
past, present, and future of issues of consequence in relation to the well-being of the women involved.
From the Foreword: “…it is obviously important to have a good understanding of how women’s physical and psychological
responses might differ from those experienced by men. I believe that this book is a scholarly attempt to answer
these questions, and I hope that it will make a valuable contribution to the health and welfare of women engaged in
these highly specialized occupations”.
