The Women, Gender and Development Reader (Paperback)

This reader, designed for undergraduates and development practitioners, presents a selection of literature that has accompanied the recognition given to the critical roles played by Third World women. Included in the book is an introduction to the field, coverage of industrialization, multi-national companies, free trade zones, the informal sector, the feminization of labour, the household as a unit of analysis, sexuality, single-parent families, agricultural production, and the environment. The literature included depicts the social transformation of women via Structural Adjustment Policies and intrusive state policies into women's health, reproductive rights and sexuality, and presents fundamental questions around women and ideology, using case studies to illustrate debates.
