Riassunto

Conventional approaches to the empowerment of women in developing countries tend to stress the primacy of poverty alleviation. This book draws on research into the effectiveness of NGO programmes in India to show that the most important aspect to empowerment is to change mindsets - to instil in women the conviction that they have a right to assert their legitimate demands.
