Reflections on the Conference on Women and Development: V

Most of the current literature on social and economic changes has neglected to give enough importance to the assessment of the nature and extent of women's participation in the process of development or to the impact of development itself on the status and roles of women in their own societies. Until recently, much of the literature on development has been stimulated, conducted, funded, evaluated, and disseminated by male researchers who have derived assumptions about the organization and operation of societies according to their own perspectives and middle-class limitations. While ongoing social changes have all too often negatively affected the productivity of women and deprived them of options and opportunities, the literature on development has generally categorized women as passive recipients of social and economic change. Their status as active participants in social life has been recognized only through implementation of their kinship roles, especially that of wives and mothers.
