Title: Gendered Paradoxes
Subtitle: Women's Movements, State Restructuring, And Global Development In Ecuador
Description: "Gendered Paradoxes focuses on women's participation in the political and economic restructuring process of the past twenty-five years, showing how in their daily struggle for survival Ecuadorian women have both reinforced and embraced the neoliberal model yet also have challenged its exclusionary nature." "Amy Lind charts the growth of several strands of women's activism and identifies how they have helped redefine, often in contradictory ways, the real and imagined boundaries of neoliberal development discourse and practice."--Jacket.
