- The book is the outcome of over 20 years of research into retail global value chains and the patterns of incorporation of women at different nodes in the chain. It provides new theoretical and empirical insights on the impact of global sourcing from Africa and Asia on gendered patterns of work. In combining research on women as producers and consumers in a globalising economy, it offers the research community a new paradigm to understand how women shape the global economy. It has had far reaching impact on companies, policy makers and civil society organisations.
