Women and Empowerment: Participation and Decision Making (Women and World Development Series)

By Marilee Karl

Empowerment is one of the major goals of feminist politics. This book is an exploration of the issues involved as women worldwide struggle to make their participation a reality. The author explains the notion of empowerment and the obstacles women face in achieving it. With examples drawn from a wide variety of countries, and an analysis that goes beyond the political arena of parties and governments to include women's participation in economic development, she describes the progress, albeit limited, they have already made.
