This
volume brings together 14 essays by feminist thinkers from different parts of
the world, reflecting on problems of current patterns of development and
arguing for political, economic, and social changes to promote equality and
sustainability. The essays are written in the context of the “triple crises” of
food, fuel, and finance, and the underlying deep-seated problems of growing
inequality, squeeze on time to provide unpaid care to family and friends, and
environmentally unsustainable patterns of economic growth. All the essays, in
diverse ways, offer proposals for alternative strategies to address the
limitations and contradictions of currently dominant ideas and practices in
development, and move towards the creation of a socially just and egalitarian
world.
