The authors argue that women are essential actors in processes of both environmental and economic governance. Yet, their labor often goes unrecognized as power dynamics between and across genders shape access, control, and care of a resource or property and both state-level policymaking and international development frequently reinforce women's marginalization. However, women's work underpins economic, environmental, and community sustainability and they persist to overcome, subvert, or circumnavigate forms of enclosure in the commons. As both an ode to women's work and a call to policymakers and development agencies to recognize women's labor, this book illustrates how women draw upon knowledge, care, and culture to improve social, economic, and ecological well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a standard CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
