The argument of this book, that women are central to development,
is presented, through the story of the United Nations Development
Fund for Women (UNIFEM) - and of its projects in the field. It is a
story which describes the reality of development within the context
of the development system itself.;The author, UNIFEM's founding
Director, describes UNIFEM's beginnings: the search for structure,
securing independent management, and riding the political and
bureaucratic waves. Part II, "At work in the world", examines
projects and activities that have been assisted world-wide, ranging
from augmenting productivity at village level to analyzing the
impact of the global market on women, and is a rare look at the
longer-term effects of projects that have "come to an end".;This is
the story of a campaign - based on fieldwork in three continents -
which has aimed to remove the invisibility that has cloaked so much
of women's work, to support and increase their economic productive
capacity - and to establish women as "agents of change, not
creatures of circumstance".
