Description:	This volume provides a rather unique opportunity to reverse the gaze—to observe and examine gender-equality policies in two Nordic countries through the eyes of researchers from the South and East. This method is as uncommon as it is refreshing within the development field as well as within the specific field of gender studies. In fact, policy makers from donor countries have often been criticized for not paying enough attention to the ways in which various societies and cultures construct differences among women as well as between women and men. Such constructions relate to conceptions of womanhood and femininity, manhood and masculinity, as well as to other dimensions of social and gender equality. In light of this debate, this volume is an important contribution to the field of gender studies
