Women's Livelihood Rights: Recasting Citizenship for DevelopmentSumi Krishna This interdisciplinary book brings together different dimensions of women's livelihood, citizenship, and development. It unravels the patriarchal structure of natural resource policy in India and argues that the context of citizenship needs to be extended to include the right to recognition of ways of life and livelihood, so that women take their legitimate space as productive human beings, entitled to dignity as a political right, and not merely to protection and welfare. |
