Women and Industrialisation: Examining the ‘female Marginalisation’ thesis
审视了发展过程中女性被边缘化的论点，基于近期研究显示矛盾趋势，指出该论点的理论和方法论缺陷，认为其不可检验，并以秘鲁和巴西案例讨论，呼吁关注微观层面的边缘化过程。
This article examines the thesis that women are marginalised from production in the course of development, in the light of recent research which shows contradictory trends. The analysis reveals serious deficiencies in the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the ‘female marginalisation’ thesis. The result is not that the FM thesis is wrong, but that it is untestable. These problems are discussed with reference to Peruvian and Brazilian material. The article argues for attention to be paid to the micro‐level processes which give rise to women's marginalisation.
