developed and the developing worlds. Women are often at the centre of these struggles, struggles which concern local knowledge, everyday practice, rights to resources, sustainable development, environmental quality, and social justice.

The aim is to bring together the globalising frameworks of feminist analysis with the specificities of women's activism and experiences around the world.
