Originally conceived as small-scale loans allowing impoverished
women to invest in informal sector economic opportunities,
microfinance programs have grown rapidly across the globe over the
past two decades to become the most common development tool used to
empower women in low- and middle-income countries. Women and
Microfinance in the Global South incorporates a meta-synthesis of
thirty qualitative empirical cases from Asia, Africa, and Latin
America to explore the links between microfinance and women's
empowerment, questioning how microfinance facilitates the economic
and socio-political empowerment of women. The theoretical framework
assesses both positive and negative outcomes of microfinance at the
grassroots level, considering how such market-based interventions
intersect with patriarchal beliefs and practices, and analyses the
different mechanisms through which microfinance can empower or
disempower women. It will interest scholars of developmental
studies and women's issues, as well as practitioners, NGOs, and
policymakers.
