How has capitalism and economic development had differential effects on women around the world? How have women been victimized and/or empowered in this process? How does our consumption (eg. clothing, tourism) in the US connect to the experiences of women in developing countries?
For example: Think about this in terms of women's rights to say yes and no to sex, their incorporation into the factory workforce, the changes in gender relations as a result of capitalist penetration/development.
