This book argues that it is the fluidity of women's identities that
enables them to bridge the gender divides and roles ascribed to
them by society and culture with those that they have chosen for
themselves whilst retaining a sense of their self.

The process of globalization has had a dramatic impact on the lives of women in developing countries. In the past decade, they have been increasingly drawn into insecure flexible employment working for the world market. This book explores the experiences of women in diverse local contexts within different cultures and faiths, drawing on case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America. It draws out the contradictory and fragmented impact of globalization at the local level on the lives of women in the developing world.
The process of globalization has had an impact on the lives of
women in developing countries in the past decade. They have been
drawn into insecure flexible employment working for the world
market. The feminization of the labour market has increased the
burdens on women, and the inability of men to access full-time
well-remunerated employment has exacerbated the process of male
migration and has left many families headed by women. At the same
time the reduction in state services and welfare has increased the
burdens placed on women. Nevertheless the consequences of
globalization have been different for different women in different
places. In some circumstances it has created opportunities for
greater empowerment, whilst in others it has stimulated a reaction
and increased the subordination of women. This text explores the
experiences of women in diverse local contexts within different
cultures and faiths, drawing on case studies from Asia, Africa and
Latin America.
