Synopsis

This book examines the contribution of women′s labour to industrial development at the level of production. Using examples from industries in India and Mexico, the author categorizes the extent to which women are drawn into different forms of production and proposes a theoretical framework for understanding the role of women in the process of industrialization in developing countries.
