The  authors recognize that gender relations must be viewed intersectionally, along  with other social relationships such as caste, ethnicity, religion, sexuality  and age, in order to inform an integrated analysis of women’s persistent  disadvantage in India. The chapters examine a diverse range of rural and urban  livelihoods within sectors such as tea plantations, nursing, hair salons, sex  work and waste collection. Documenting the shifts in these sectors in the  context of economic liberalization, the authors offer insights on the challenges  of development interventions as women negotiate shifts in their livelihood  options. Written to engage, the contributions to this  book will be of interest both to the general reader and to academics and  practitioners in development and gender\/women’s studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBina Fernandez is Senior Lecturer in Development Studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
