Description
Carolyn Sachs examines how the changing global economy affects rural women in highly industrialized and developing countries. Her study focuses on land ownership, cropping systems, and women's work with animals.
Sachs analyzes the daily lives of rural women, exploring their experiences in terms of gender, class, and race. She draws on historical and contemporary research, as well as rural women's writings and in-depth interviews to show how environmental degradation results from economic and development practices that disadvantage these women.
The book offers examples from different countries, highlighting the commonalities and differences in women's knowledge of and interactions with the natural environment. Sachs also explores the strategies women use for resistance and survival in the face of these trends.
