Summary
  • "This book is carefully organized to provide an introductory section of three chapters which set out a number of detailed theoretical arguments relevant to the work found later in the book. In this sense the collection should be a major contribution in laying the groundwork in the new area. The strength of this volume lies in the way the individual chapters bring theory and practice together. It represents the maturity of feminist work in international political economy.
  • The book will be a vital teaching as well as research text, especially in international relations, international political economy and women's studies."--BOOK JACKET.
