“This is an outstanding collection of well-organized, thoughtfully developed chapters that, taken together, greatly enhance our understanding of the current state of gender equity issues in developing countries.”—Linda K Richter, Perspectives on Political Science

“Earlier studies failed to adequately place this broad field of knowledge in its proper geopolitical context, and Jaquette and Summerfield do just that. . . . This book is useful for graduate and undergraduate courses in gender, development, globalization and postcolonial studies as well as for scholars, policymakers and practitioners who work in the field.”—Amy Lind, Journal of Latin American Studies

“This book, originally conceived at a conference in 1994, should form the platform for new meetings of human rights and development researchers and activists.”—Hanna Beate Schöpp-Schilling, International Feminist Journal of Politics

"[A]n important set of reflections on the key issues and concerns about women and gender and development over the last three decades. . . . It will no doubt be an important gender and development reference for those teaching undergraduate courses on development and policy-makers who are reflecting on where the field stands after three decades of gender and development projects and programs."—Wendy Harcourt, Feminist Economics

“The papers in this book are well-written and highly readable, and provide many interesting case studies. It would serve as an excellent text on any Development Studies or Gender and Development course. The collection should also appeal to academics engaged in more in-depth research, and also to policy makers who want to avoid some of the pitfalls of failing to effectively integrate gender issues into their practice.”—Jasmine Gideon, Progress in Development Studies

“This rich collection of essays, enhanced by an excellent bibliography, will be of lasting value both to readers with long experience in the fields that it covers and to those for whom this is new terrain. I already look forward to re-reading it.”—Deborah Eade, Development in Practice

“This important collection provides a much-needed fresh look at women, gender, and development. Jane S. Jaquette and Gale Summerfield’s overview chapter is superb.”—Valentine M. Moghadam, UNESCO

“This book begins with a very important question: is there a crisis in the gender and development field despite its large expansion and growing complexity? The different contributors address this question, directly or indirectly, from an interdisciplinary perspective. From the analysis of changing institutions to the control of resources, political participation, gender mainstreaming, and many other relevant themes, the book makes an excellent contribution to the historical analysis of the field and its current developments and tensions. There is much food for thought here.”—Lourdes Benería, author of Gender, Development, and Globalization: Economics as if All People Mattered

“This excellent collection by leading scholars and policy actors sets the ongoing gender and development debate in the context of the changing international political and policy climate. In bringing different regional perspectives to bear on the new challenges facing gender justice advocates, it updates critical thinking on the urgency of applying gender analysis to development policy, human security, and globalization.”—Maxine Molyneux, author of Women’s Movements in International Perspective: Latin America and Beyond
