Reviews

An excellent mix of empirical research, regional and project-specific history, and practical capacity-building suggestions. It would be very useful as a resource for policy makers, NGOs, and worker associations, as well as interested parties in the private sector who are committed to fostering gender empowerment via international trade. It would also make an excellent contribution to undergraduate and graduate curricula in international trade and feminist economics.
