Women Resist Globalization

Reviews

'Women Resisting Globalization is a testimony to contemporary women's movements in different parts of the world in order to ensure dignity, justice and citizenship for the underprivileged. It documents organizing initiatives around challenges to livelihood and democracy. In the process, it affirms the crucial role of collective action for an ethical world order. The radical vision and historical imagination of Rowbotham and Linkogle give these movements, so often dismissed as sporadic or fragmentary, a rightful place in the history of resistance to hegemonic powers. Highlighting similarities as well as differences in the experiences of women in the South and in the North, the book makes an important contribution to current discourse on international feminism that needs to address the issue of gender along with questions of race, ethnicity and class.' - Professor Swasti Mitter, co-author of Dignity and Daily Bread: New Forms of Economic Organisation Among Poor Women in the Third World and the First



'Mobilizations against the harshest effects of globalization on people's daily lives world wide are predominantly initiated and sustained by the visions and leadership of women. It is inspiring to read this new collection by Sheila Rowbotham and Stephanie Linkogle highlighting the breadth and creativity of women's ongoing battles to create better lives for all. A tonic for these times.' - Lynne Segal, author of Why Feminism: Gender, Psychology, Politics
