This two-volume set collects some of the most significant contributions to the field of gender and development. The 54 articles, published between 1977 and 2000, emphasize economic analysis. Coverage includes a range of topics such as conceptual and methodological questions; progress made during the last two decades towards more accurate and systematic ways of accounting for women's work, particularly the unpaid work carried out in subsistence economies and domestic production; the prevalent critique of neoclassical models of the family, both in general and as they apply to developing countries in particular; policy, action, women's empowerment, and institutional and social change; women's access to resources not just through wage employment, but also in terms of other factors such as property rights, credit, and household distribution of other resources; employment and labor markets; structural adjustment and economic restructuring; gender and markets; and fundamental institutional and political change. There is no subject index. Edited by Benerfa (city and regional planning, Cornell U.) with Savitri Bisnath (doctoral candidate, Cornell U.) Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
