Gender and Development

Gender and Development, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that introduces students to gender issues across the developing world and the transition countries of Eastern and Central Europe. Published in the Routledge Perspectives on Development series, the book examines how evolving theoretical frameworks and the Sustainable Development Goals connect to lived gender relations.

Across nine chapters, the text addresses reproduction, rural and urban livelihoods, and environmental challenges such as declining natural resources and climate change. The 2020 edition incorporates expanded coverage of masculinities, global trade, and sustainable agriculture.

Written by Janet Momsen for students in development, sociology, anthropology, geography, and women's studies, the volume integrates chapter learning objectives and field-based examples drawn from four decades of international research.
