‘Women in Market Societies provides an interesting read on issues central to feminist economics. Although this book was originally published in 1995, the issues remain relevant and the analysis continues to provide texture for continuing changes in established and emerging market societies. . . The book does not claim to provide "definitive conclusions, but [aims] to create an agenda for ongoing research and discussion" (p.1). Eight years later, this agenda still poses the key questions for those interested in the influence of market institutions on women’s lives, and no other book published in the intervening years has pulled together such a broad range of issues with a focus on the intersection of market and gender studies.’
– Barbara E Hopkins, Feminist Economics
Women and Market Societies explores the problems and possibilities for women which arise from the transition to a market economy in East Asia, the dismantling of state socialism in Eastern Europe and the restructuring of the economies and welfare states of the older capitalist market societies in Western Europe.
