Hi, I wonder if I might draw on the collective knowledge of suscribers to this list and ask if anyone knows of good, recent sources on women and industrial development? I am particularly looking for texts that are both theoretically and empirically strong and which study the condition of women in comparative perspective.Also, if anyone wants to pick up this issue, I'd be interested to hear views on the ways in which "the gender variable" can help us understand forms and sequences of industrialization. Do variations in women's relationships to states and work result in variations in the forms and sequences of industrialization? If not, what would a feminist theory of industrialization look like and tell us?
I hope this sparks a lively discussion.
