This up-to-date text offers a clear and cogent introduction to
women in development. Exploring the global structures and processes
that impede or support the empowerment of women, Jana Everett and
Sue Ellen M. Charlton use a feminist lens to understand
contemporary gender roles. Without such a lens, they argue, our
understanding of globalization and development is incomplete,
resulting in flawed policies that fail to improve the lives of
millions of people around the globe. After a set of introductory
chapters that conceptually frame the issues, the authors then
investigate women's struggles within and against globalization and
development through powerful case studies of sex trafficking,
water, work, and health. These chapters, by using specific
examples, develop the concepts of structure and agency, levels of
analysis, and feminist approaches as tools to help students
understand the complexities of development and alternative
strategies. Through rich interdisciplinary analysis, Everett and
Charlton explore the individual and collective strategies women
have used to improve their lives under globalization and weigh how
effective they have been. Their book will be an essential resource
in women's studies, political science, political economy,
anthropology, sociology, and development studies.
