Résumé

This paper addresses the critique posed by feminist theory that women's issues have been left out of macro analyses of national development. It attempts to integrate women's issues into contemporary models of development, re-assessing their utility, both in understanding the problems and inequalities which women experience, and in developing mechanisms to promote change. Five models are considered a) the social welfare approach b) the grass roots networking and participatory democracy approach, c) the culture of poverty thesis d) entrepreneurship, and e) neo-imperialism. This review draws extensively on original data gathered during two periods of fieldwork in villages in North India.
