'Themes from Celebrating Mountain Women' contains extended abstracts of 39 papers given at a global gathering of mountain women that took place in Thimphu, Bhutan, from 1-4 October 2002 as part of the celebrations in the International Year of the Mountains.

 The 'Thimphu Declaration' – a call to action on the issues in the lives of mountain women formulated at the end of the conference – is included as an annex. The points raised by the participants are focused on the topics of gender role and relations; natural resources and environment; health and well–being, entrepreneurship; and political, legal and human rights. The publication will be of interest to all those interested in mountain development in general and women's issues in particular, across the world.
