Feminist scholars have shown that women have a long history of
productive work outside the home, and current research has focussed
on the distinct nature of women's work and the role of women in the
workforce. While much attention has been given to industrialized
nations, this volume provides a comprehensive bibliographic record
of books, articles, dissertations, and audiovisual sources on women
and work in developing countries.
The first chapter of the book provides entries for general works
and for works of a theoretical nature, and is divided into sections
on the global economy, theoretical considerations, and
methodological concerns. Other chapters are devoted to particular
geographic areas and include sections on introductory works; the
social construction of gender; development policies; work and
family issues; women's experience of wage-work; work in rural
areas; and the efforts of women to promote change. Each entry is
accompanied by a descriptive annotation. The last chapter is on
audio-visual resources, and the volume concludes with an appendix
of organizations and research institutions.
