Women and Power: Fighting Patriarchy and Poverty

by , ,

A major re-evaluation of ideas about power, this book sheds new light on empowerment by exploring and celebrating the achievements of rural Mexican women. The authors demonstrate how it is often poor women in poor countries who are celebrating new powers and changing their own lives. They deal with power in everyday terms: how power is gained or lost through working with others; how women7;s lives are defined or constrained by the power of the state, family or religion; how self-empowerment can transform personal relations; and the effects of power conferred from without by NGOs and/or the international development community.
