Reviews

Globalization involves a politics of feminization: rendering females and males subservient to market imperatives and subject to devalorization of their bodies, labor, and skills. How have and might feminists respond to continuity and change in devaluing that which is 'feminized'? Hawkesworth deftly guides us through this expansive terrain. Comprehensive yet cogent, critical but not daunting, this is a must-read for all who wonder about globalizations and feminisms: past, present, and future. -- V.

CHOICE This rich and engaging volume will change your view of globalization forever.
