Recenzje

'... the author should be congradulated in the admirable way she has summarised recent research on the topic of women and development ... this book is the first and much-needed attempt to explain these vital issues to a more general audience ... this book should be required reading for sixth formers and undergraduates studying development in the Third World. - Area
