From Library Journal
Presented here are eight case studies of projects where women have initiated and run unique enterprises which have made an impact in rural areas in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. No mere cottage industries, these enterprises have invaded such traditional male realms as construction, manufacturing, and transportation. The projects elevated the status of the women involved in their communities, and the women were able to invest their profits in health care, education, and other businesses. While not all of the projects were successful, nevertheless, they are heartening stories which are being repeated the world over. An interesting report for university and women's studies programs.

Cover has crease and small tear at bottom RH front corner, spine (unbroken) slightly faded, faint sticker mark on back, otherwise whole. 'Each of the first 8 chapters of 'Seeds' offers a portrait of a unique development project organized by and for women in Africa, Asia, latin America, or the Caribbean. Unlike other development projects, which often continue to overlook women's participation in the economy, these were specifically designed to involve women in decision making and income generation. Hence, they have been training grounds for leaership and provide useful models for study and action.'. Seller Inventory # 003283
