Accumulation, Reproduction, and Women's Role in Economic Development: Boserup Revisited
More than a decade has passed since Ester Boserup's book, Woman's Role in Economic Development, was published.1 Probably no single work on the subject of women and development has been quoted as often. Given the importance of the subject and the appearance of a considerable amount of new material since 1970, it is now possible to evaluate the book from a fresh perspective; indeed such an evaluation is necessary. It is our purpose to summarize Boserup's main contributions, but also to present a critical analysis of her approach, particularly in view of recent scholarship on the subject.
