Feminisms, Empowerment and Development explores what women are doing to change their own personal circumstances whilst providing an in-depth analysis of collective action and institutionalized mechanisms aimed at changing structural relations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on unique, original research and approaching empowerment as a complex process of negotiation, rather than a linear sequence of inputs and outcomes, this crucial collection highlights the difficulty of creating common agendas for the advancement of women's power and rights, and argues for a more nuanced, context-based approach to development theory and practice. An indispensible text for anyone interested in gender and development, this book shows that policies and approaches to development that view women as instrumental to other objectives will never promote women's empowerment as they fail to address the structures by which gender inequality is perpetuated over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Edwards, -.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780325835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780325835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Jenny Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937965703423,"sku":"9781780325835","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_077df3c3-5bc1-4df9-b60a-3a497c5e6a73.jpg?v=1681432949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feminisms-empowerment-and-development-jenny-edwards-9781780325835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
