Innovative and boundary-crossing, this book brings to light how gender inequality is shaped by and shapes global hierarchies of power, in intersection with race and class. It is unique in paying attention to both the Global South and Global North and the importance of considering how particular forms of gender inequality are located in the global economy. It is an excellent and stimulating text for use in advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the social sciences. It is also essential reading for anyone in international organizations working on gender equality.
