What impact has the rapid economic development of Asia had on women?
Why is Asia still home to the largest number of impoverished women?
How does the feminization of poverty, one of the most urgent issues facing the continent actually take place?
This book charts the effects of the economic boom on women across Asia. Yayori Matsui, one of Japan's leading journalists, demonstrates how Asian women are confronting rapid economic development, which is accompanied by widespread infringement of human rights.
