- Questions why the insights from years of feminist gender and
development research are so often turned into ‘gender
myths’ and ‘feminist fables’
- Explores how bowdlerized and impoverished representations of
gender relations have simultaneously come to be embedded in
development policy and practice
- Traces the ways in which language and images of development are
related to practice and provides a nuanced account of the politics
of knowledge production
- Argues that struggles for interpretive power are not only
important for our own sake, but also for the implications they have
for women’s lives worldwide
- An informed analysis of how ‘gender’ has been transformed in its transfer into development policy and how many authors are now revisiting and reflecting on their earlier work
