- Description
- This volume analyzes the causes and effects of women's economic power or lack of power. The book helps students understand the significant role of gender in developing societies. It shows, for example, how women in the Global South become disempowered during campaigns of rural proletarianization. Another chapter describes the economic and social consequences of women's lack of access to basic facilities of menstrual hygiene in India. Also discussed is the influence of war on women's power, by considering the aftermath of civil wars in Rwanda, Bosnia and Nepal.
