Opis

Much of the literature published on gender relations in rural areas has either focused on comparisons of the position of men and women, or explored the position of women given prevailing structural forces and behavioural 'norms'. This groundbreaking book broadens the debate by developing our understanding of how societal processes produce and sustain gender divisions.
