The "riddle of femininity, " like Freud's reference to women's sexuality as a "dark continent, " has been treated as a romantic aside or a sexist evasion rather than as a problem to be solved.

In this elegant, lucidly argued account, Teresa Brennan argues that the evidence already exists that globalisation has for years been harming not just the poor of the third w...
