Abstract
The social construction of gender reflected in development theory has been increasingly challenged by women in both developed and developing countries. This chapter traces the evolution of the development paradigm in response to recognition of women’s economic roles. It charts the shifts in thinking and in action, and relates them to developments in scholarly research, to activism in developing and developed countries, and to global fora that helped change the paradigm.
