Book Info
The book delves into the discursive development of women’s rights and movements that have propelled their plight forward over almost half a century. The evolving history of the rights movement for gender equality finds a framework through the hands of Hameeda Hossain in this body of work that contains essays written by her over the years. The author has dedicated her work to discussing the involvement of women in policymaking, in power hierarchies, and in people’s politics or the lack thereof. The book explores women’s economic and political empowerment as well as their participation in the marketplace, the parliament, and other decision-making bodies.
