The International Handbook of Gender and Poverty: …

concepts, research, policy

Edited by Sylvia Chant, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

I read a review of this book when I was at the British Library last week but, as is the way of journals, reviews have no abstract so nothing to bring you. Helpfully there are several descriptions online – take your pick. I took mine from the publisher.

While each of the articles in this impressive collection makes an original contribution
to the conceptual, empirical and policy analysis of gender and poverty, together they
provide a comprehensive overview of the field and an essential resource for all sections of
the development community. Professor Sylvia Chant is to be congratulated for bringing
together some of the leading thinkers in the field from across the world. This is not only an
unprecedented feat of international co-operation but feminist collaboration at its best.
– Professor Naila Kabeer, Institute of Development Studies, Sussex, UK

This book will be essential reading for all with scholarly,professional or personal interests in gender, poverty, inequality, development, and social, political and economic change in the contemporary world.
