Feminisms and Development

Feminism and Development is published by Zed Books

Disrupting taken-for-granted assumptions, this series redefines issues at the heart of today’s feminist contestations in a development context. Bringing together a formidable collective of thinkers from the global South and the North, it explores what it is that can bring about positive changes in women’s rights and realities. These timely and topical collections reposition feminism within development studies, bringing into view commonalities across the countries of the global south that have so far been unrecognised.
