About This Item
New Delhi, India: Kali for Women, 1996. This book uncovers the biases that underlie mainstream development theory and account for the marginal status given to women's needs in current development policy; it traces the emergence of women as a specific category in development thought and examines alternative frameworks for analyzing gender heirarchies; it identifies the household as the primary site for the construction of power relations and compares the extent to which gender inequalities are revealed in different approaches to the concept of the family unit; it assesses the poverty line as a measuring tool and provides a critical overview of population control, an issue fiercely contested by feminists (black paper-covered boards with gold lettering, slight edgewear; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy). Second Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket.
