This is because international development efforts often operate under a reductive understanding of the term 'gender' and how it influences the lives of girls and boys. Gender is more commonly conceived by international efforts as characteristics which are ascribed to girls as norms for behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn particular, the analysis in \u003cem\u003eGender Trouble Makers\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on the social constructions of gender and the ways in which gender was reinforced and maintained through a case study in rural Nepal. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn developing countries like Nepal, promoting access to and participation in existing formal education programme is clearly necessary, but it is not, in itself, sufficient to transform gender power relations in the broader society. When gender is properly addressed as a process, then all stakeholders involved - researchers, governmental officials, and community members - can begin to understand and devise more effective ways to increase both girl and boy students' enrollment, participation, and success in school. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Rothchild\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415980151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415980159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.34w x 0.67d","brand":"Jennifer Rothchild","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202137014527,"sku":"9780415980159","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_873f4bbe-be26-4517-80ca-72be692776f5.jpg?v=1756819742","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-trouble-makers-jennifer-rothchild-9780415980159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
