Summary: Gender disparities frequently accompany rapid socioeconomic change, as cultural traditions that protected women—even as they constrained them—collapse in the face of development reforms. This collaborative volume, involving both Asian and U.S. scholars, explores the impact of changes in women’s rights to housing and land in three socialist countries that are moving toward market economies. The authors focus on such issues as property use and ownership, efforts to recognize women’s economic rights through development programming, poverty and women-headed households, and household bargaining. The final chapter surveys the impact of various development policies, highlighting successes and failures.
