Women's Empowerment across Generations in Bangladesh
通过质性访谈20组三代女性，研究年轻已婚女性与母亲、婆婆的关系如何促进或阻碍经济和教育领域的赋权代际传递，发现父权制度限制了赋权效果。
This study uses qualitative data to examine young women's relationships with their mothers and mothers-in-law to understand how these relationships foster empowerment in the younger generation or fail to do so. The data consist of ethnographic interviews with 20 triads of women-young married women, their mothers and their mothers-in-law. Findings show that the influence of empowerment across generations was greater in the sphere of economic empowerment and education than in relation to marriage and childbearing. The study illustrates how patriarchal institutions resistant to change can limit the effects of women's empowerment on the next generation.
