Abstract: Abstract Feminist critiques, which have emerged in many disciplines of the social sciences, including geography, anthropology, sociology, development studies, and even economics (Folbré, 1994), grew out of concern for the neglect of women. The basis of a feminist critique is not the study of women, but rather the study of gender and the interrelationships between women and men. A feminist methodological approach analyses the role of gender in all human societies as a structuring principle shaping their economic and market systems, as well as their histories, geography, ideologies and political systems.
