Revisiting many of the women she interviewed in the 1970s and 1980s and revising her earlier hopeful assessment of women's entrepreneurial opportunities, Ehlers convincingly demonstrates that development and commercial growth in the region have benefited men at the expense of women UR - https://doi.org/10.7560/721036 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780292745100 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780292745100/original ER -
