Women, Culture, and Development - A Study of Human Capabilities (Paperback)

This acute examination of the quality of women's life addresses a variety of particularly urgent questions. It develops a universal account of women's quality of life and in doing so confronts issues of cultural relativism. An account of gender justice and women's equality is proposed in various areas in which quality of life is measured. The abstract issues are related throughout to the specific contexts of India, Bangladesh, China, Mexico, and Nigeria.
