Women and Development (WAD)

 Women and Development (WAD)

Marxist historians, beginning with Frederick Engle's (1942), assert that the
Agricultural Revolution, through the establishment of stationary communities for
growing crops and domesticating animals, led to hierarchical structures in
societies presumed to have been previously classless. 

Women and Development (WAD)

Engels argued that the

institution of private property and consequent exaltation of monogamy

contributed to the decline of women's status Marxist feminists hypothesize that

the desire to retain privately held property within blood-lines (a need that did not

arise in the period of communal ownership) as well as to control children' s labor

made men attempt to control their wives sexuality through monogamous

marriage. This gender hierarchy was intensified with the spread of capitalism.

Production for direct use, which was a hallmark of more communal societies, was

replaced by production for exchange, which was taken over by men and came to

be viewed as a 'public function.

associated with the 'private domain were assigned to women. The

significance of this public-private cleavage is apparent in the importance

by feminists of all persuasions to women's paid employment as a source

and autonomy.

The theoretical steno of the Marxist and the dependency theorists is

exemplified in their focus on the exploitation of women by multinationals. Poor,

young non-white women are sought out for their purported pliancy and are paid

low wages to staff the factory complexes that amass, proits for foreign

companies. As they have multiplied around the world, these export-processing

zones have provided a microcosm of transnational exploitation of women that has

become a laboratory site for innumerable studies by feminists and scholars

representing diverse disciplines and ideologies.(See Part 2, Chapter 12, Part ,

VIOLENCE, ABUSE, AND HARASSMENT

Perspectives on Violence, Abuse, and Harassment Socio-cultural Issues. Cultural difference in values, attitudes, and behavioral norms across ethnic and racial group must be considered in any examination of violence. Unfortunately, data are scarce in this area.

Some studies indicate that the public tends to blame victims of rape, rather than those who commit the violent act. In some cases, people believe the violence was justified.       Cultural attitudes about violence toward women may be based on societal acceptance of male dominance. In many cultures , both men and women believe that a man has the right to control his wile's and daughter's behavior and that disobedient women  should be punished.
