Book Reviews of The Women, Gender and Development Reader
Book Review: good overview
Summary: 4 Stars
As a student of feminist theory and gender in development, this book came a little late for me - or some chapters did.
It provides a reasonable overview of the history of the field. This means that some bits are theoretical - but most have case examples mixed in to bring things to life.
A solid contribution to the field, but perhaps not a stop-the-presses investment for those of us who already have extensive gender and/in development libraries; check Zed Press for more cutting-edge issue-related stuff.
