Gender and Neoliberalism by Elisabeth Armstrong is an important book because it advocates the belief that a gendered understanding of the political economy is essential and indeed possible. It attempts to displace the myth that the economy has nothing to do with questions of gender. The attempt in the book is to survey the response of the All India Democratic Women’s Association to the rapid and far-reaching changes in the Indian political economy from the early 1990s. These changes are often referred to as liberalization, privatization and globalization (LPG).
