520			_aGlobalization has intensified the pressures on poor women. They have resisted in both the North and the South in movements that are exclusively female or where women play a significant part. Women Resist Globalization brings together scholars and organizers to record and analyse women's grassroots activism in two key areas: claims to livelihood and human rights.
520	8		_aOpening with an historical account of differing facets of women's action for emancipation, this book goes on to look at more recent examples of diverse resistance: women fighting for environmental and reproductive rights, mobilizing against poverty and racism, fighting the inequalities imposed by structural adjustment programmes, and campaigning for human rights.
520	8		_aThrough cases ranging from the British miners' strike to making gender central to the Guatemalan peace process, the book documents activists challenging the boundaries of prevailing assumptions of work, environment, reproduction, community, democracy and indeed politics. It contributes to the ongoing debate about the scope of women's movements, while demonstrating how women's activism around needs and rights is a crucial element in the global struggle for equality and justice. Essential reading for students and academics in women's studies, development, politics, sociology, geography and labour studies - as well as for activists everywhere.
