This book delves into the interrelationship among gender, power, and economic disparity in the Global South through an intersectional lens. It analyses the interplay of diverse forms of oppression, such as class, caste, race, ethnicity, and geography, and their impact on individuals' lives and prospects for success. This analysis employs diverse case studies to examine how historical legacies, social and political institutions, and economic mechanisms generate and perpetuate inequality across various domains.

The book illustrates how women, particularly from Dalit, Black, Indigenous, and other marginalised groups, wield power and resist exclusion while challenging patriarchal norms and advocating for equity in politics, the economy, the environment, and the digital realm. It distinctly focusses on the Global South and critically examines global development narratives, prioritising local knowledge, action, and feminist futures in its endeavours. Further, the book examines the dynamics of power within institutions, informal economy, housing, technology, peacebuilding, and international cooperation. Encompassing a broad spectrum of disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, and environmental studies, it also examines how global trends, such as the green transition and digital innovation, influence gendered realities.

This edited volume serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in gender studies, development studies, international relations, and related fields due to its pertinent information and policy recommendations. It urges readers to critically examine conventional notions and consider gender and power in the Global South with greater openness and equity.
