Contemporary Gender And Development Issues - Mexico, India, United Kingdom, United States of America and sub-Saharan Africa

"This rich and diverse collection addresses some of the most pressing challenges of our time for gender justice globally - women's safety and security, women's autonomy and reproductive rights, representation and subjection, resources, resistance and power. These studies offer us a unique set of entry points through which to examine the continued and pervasive challenge of achieving a more equitable world. They focus both on some of the most prominent areas of contemporary Gender and Development work, such as young women's empowerment, violence against women, and on neglected issues, such as the implications of masculinities for women's political participation". (Andrea Cornwall and Jerker Edström)
