RECENT years have seen the emergence of women as an important category on the agenda for social research. This is especially so in the field of environment and development studies. A large number of studies have looked into specific activities, problems and policies with reference to women as their mechanisms, victims or beneficiaries. The book under review is another addition to the range of such works.
