Globalization involves a politics of feminization: rendering females and males subservient to market imperatives and subject to devalorization of their bodies, labor, and skills. How have and might feminists respond to continuity and change in devaluing that which is 'feminized'? Hawkesworth deftly guides us through this expansive terrain.
