Global Variations in Gender Inequalities

---

When asked to write a review about multiple books within the sociology of gender published since 2000, I quickly chose global variations in gender inequalities, an important contemporary topic. Yet in trying to create a list of volumes to include, I realized this was not simply a matter of walking over to my bookshelves and choosing my favorite books, because my own interest in this topic is shaped by my substantive and regional foci. Thus, I challenged myself to ensure
that this review reflects several of the multiple areas that social scientists of international gender and/or feminist issues write about. While there is considerable overlap among such areas, I will organize this review into three major overlapping groups. The first combines income, employment in the formal and informal sector economies, and migration issues; the second addresses sexuality and embodiment issues, both of which include the globally ubiquitous topic of violence;
and the third highlights theories of social change, most prominently the role of the state, and transnational and local feminisms. Although my own regional focus is Latin America and the Caribbean, I tried to include a balance of books of interest to readers concerned with Asia, Africa, and Europe or other developed regions. I expanded my terrain through conversations with other global gender inequalities researchers and explored Google Scholar citations. I also decided to include a mixture of foundational, perspective-changing books as well as some newer works that take those ideas in a different direction or that are becoming more recent ‘‘hits’’—some have previously been reviewed here in Contemporary
Sociology, but others have not.
