She identifies the household as a primary site for the construction of power relations and compares the extent to which gender inequalities are revealed in different approaches to the concept of the family unit. The book assesses the inadequacies of the poverty line as a measuring tool and provides a critical overview of an issue that has been fiercely contested by feminists: population control. While feminists themselves have no unanimous view of the meaning of \"reproductive choice,\" Kabeer argues that it is imperative for them to take a lead in the construction of population policy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNaila Kabeer\u003c\/b\u003e is a Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex.
