| Description | Townsend, J., E. Zapata, J. Rowlands, P.Alberti and M. Mercado 1999. Women and Power: Fighting Patriarchies and Poverty. Zed Books. 200 pp.A major re-evauation of ideas about power, this book throws new light on empowerment by showing how women can and do take power into and over their own lives. The authors explore the achievements of rural Mexican women, showing how it is often poor women in poor countries who are celebrating new powers and changing their own lives. They deal with power in everyday terms: how power is gained or lost through working with others in, for example, income-generating projects; how women's lives are defined or constrained by the power of the state, family or religion; how self-empowerment can transform personal relations; and the enabling roles sometimes played from without by NGOs an/or the international development community. |
