As developing states adopt neoliberal policies, more and more
working-class women find themselves pulled into the public sphere.
They are pressed into wage work by a privatizing and unstable job
market. Likewise, they are pulled into public roles by gender
mainstreaming policies that developing states must sign on to in
order to receive transnational aid. Their inclusion into the
political economy is very beneficial for society, but is it also
beneficial for women? In The Stigma Matrix Fauzia Husain draws on
the experiences of policewomen, lady health workers, and airline
attendants, all frontline workers who help the Pakistani state, and
its global allies, address, surveil, and discipline veiled women
citizens. These women, she finds, confront a stigma matrix: a
complex of local and global, historic, and contemporary factors
that work together to complicate women's integration into public
life. The experiences of the three groups Husain examines reveal
that inclusion requires more than quotas or special seats. This
book advances critical feminist and sociological frameworks on
stigma and agency showing that both concepts are made up of
multiple layers of meaning, and are entangled with elite projects
of hegemony.
