In Gender, Development and Globalization, Lourdes Beneria offers a profound analysis of the intertwined dynamics of gender, economic development, and globalisation. This insightful work delves into how the global economy influences gender relations and the implications for development policies. Through rigorous research and a nuanced perspective, Beneria challenges readers to reconsider the traditional paradigms that often overlook the experiences of women in the economic landscape.
