The struggle to legitimize subsistence: women and sustainable development argues that this careful management of resources for human sustainment would seem to be a useful paradigm for planetary ecological management, but the central role that subsistence production takes in the world economy has been ignored. The authors show how women are generally responsible for most subsistence production and it is they who suffer as laws, commercial pressures or development plans deny them access to the resources on which such production is based.
