This book synthesizes and analyzes three decades  of economic, political, and cultural policies and politics toward third  world women. Focusing on the impact of the current global economic and  political crises - debt, famine, militarization, and fundamentalism -  the authors show how, through organization, poor women have begun to  mobilize creative and effective development strategies to pull  themselves and their families out of immiserating circumstances.
