- Summary
- "This book brings together a variety of feminist activities and academics, from both North and South, engaged in development, to answer these questions. Each describes her project and its feminist rationale, and analyses it through three fundamental challenges: the problem of making a feminist agenda work within development agencies, including the difficulties of finding funding and the constraints imposed by others; the ethical and methodological issues raised by feminism - including the differences between women and the legitimacy of studying 'the Other'; and the challenge of internationsl feminism: looking for new ways to work together for global change without imposing 'Western feminism' on Southern women."--Jacket.
