Innovative and boundary-crossing, this book brings to light how gender inequality is shaped by and shapes global hierarchies of power, in intersection with race and class. It is unique in paying attention to both the Global South and Global North and the importance of considering how particular forms of gender inequality are located in the global economy. It is an excellent and stimulating text for use in advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the social sciences. It is also essential reading for anyone in international organizations working on gender equality. -- Diane Elson, Emeritus Professor, University of Essex

It is at once an introduction to the approach and to major topics, and a sophisticated discussion of historical and contemporary issues, with a global perspective that foregrounds the role of power in economic life. This book is not just for economists or social scientists: it is important for anyone who wants to understand our world and why people’s lives play out so differently. -- Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts Amherst This excellent field guide to feminist political economy identifies multidimensional aspects of collective identity and conflict across a global terrain. Its eloquent and intersectional commitment to social justice makes it an invaluable resource for policymakers and activists, as well as for researchers and students seeking to understand the complex dynamics of exploitation. -- Nancy Folbre, Professor Emerita of Economics, Political Economy Research Institute, Amherst Feminist political economy operates at the intersections of feminist economics, political economy, gender and development. In this groundbreaking and quite brilliant new book, these intersections coalesce organically into a volume that is essential reading for students and scholars alike across these interdisciplinary domains. -- Haroon Akram-Lodhi, Professor of Economics and International Development Studies, Trent University
