primer on Globalization

This is a great book for someone who wants to learn more about globalization from a feminist point of view. In the process, the case studies and information about the women's organizations (transnational feminist networks) are also instructive. There is a chapter or two that is repetitive, but all in all this is a great book. It is more of an academic book and would be useful for a sociology, poli sci, women's studies or anthro class.
