ABSTRACT
Shortly before the 4th UN Conference on Women in Beijing, a group of academics and feminists concerned with gender and development gathered at the University of East Anglia to discuss where we were, and where we might be heading, in a field now at least 25 years old.’ The essays in this book are a selection of what was presented there. What emerged was a diversity of work, all of which examined ‘development’ in its many meanings, * from which we have collected a group of papers which are not about projects and donors, but address broad and longstanding concerns emerging from particular discourses with roots in 1970s socialist feminism.
