Reviews

'This is an illuminating study of the role of education, particularly higher education, in gender equity and justice in a rapidly globalizing world. Geeta Nair's careful empirical analysis brings out many important relations that deserve much greater attention than they have received so far. A good addition to a literature with theoretical interest and practical relevance.'- Amartya Sen, Thomas W. Lamont University Professor, and Professor of Economics and Philosophy, at Harvard University, USA
