Abstract

The introductory chapter ended with a discussion on the importance of the concept of Other/subaltern women—women of low-income households. In this chapter, I will introduce the concept of social capital (social networks) before discussing the major theme of the book. The aim is to create a space within which to view the critique of the discourses around mainstream development, gender, and development/gender and the informal sector in ways other than portraying women as victims. There are two main questions: How can women of low-income households exercise agency? And how can the Other women operate through the Other economy (as an alternative to the market-led formal economy) in ways that can contest social and economic power structures, rather than reproducing and reinforcing them?
