More than half of the world's farmers are women. They are the
majority of the poor, the uneducated and are the first to suffer
from drought and famine. Yet their subordination is reinforced by
well-meaning development policies that perpetuate social
inequalities. During the 1975-85 United Nations Decade for the
Advancement of Women their position actually worsened. This book
analyses three decades of policies towards Third World women.
Focusing on global economic and political crises - debt, famine,
militarization, fundamentalism - the authors show how women's moves
to organize effective strategies for basic survival are central to
an understanding of the development process.
