Summary: Third World women play the major role in managing natural resources. They are the first and hardest hit by environmental mismanagement, yet they are neither consulted nor taken into account by development strategists. This book contains well documented case studies and interviews with leading women conservationists from the Third World, and gives a clear account of women's problems in relation to land, water, forests, energy and human settlements. It also looks at the lack of response from international organizations and at the ways in which women can organize to meet environmental, social and economic challenges. Irene Dankelman is co-ordinator for the IUCN Working Group on Women, Environment and Sustainable Development. She lives and works in The Netherlands. Joan Davidson, a Research Fellow at University College London, is an environmental writer and consultant who lives in Britain.
