Description
Extrait de la couverture : "This vibrant assemblage on women's work and economic development drwas on original fieldwork by an international group of authors. Leacock and Safa focus on a common theme - that it is necessary to examine the division of labor by sex in order to understand the underlying structure of gender and of women's status. The nontechnical style, the breadth of coverage, and the emphasis on first-hand materials will prompt future research and contribute a thought-provokong teaching tool to courses i women's Studies, Women's Work, and Economic Development."
