Endangered Daughters: Discrimination and Development in Asia
Publisher: Routledge, December 29, 2000.
Book Condition: New
Binding: Hardcover
ISBN: 0415247640 / 9780415247641
This work asks the controversial question of why millions of girls do not appear to be surviving to adulthood in contemporary Asia. It shifts the focus of attention firmly from son-preference to daughter-discrimination.
Review
..."A helpful corrective, reminding us that the real sufferers are the girls who survive the discrimination that has marked them since before their birth-and the many who never reach adulthood at all.."
-The Economist
"Endangered Daughters is a wonderfully engaging exploration of an extremely important - and profoundly disturbing - problem. I hope Elisabeth Croll's quite excellent book gets the wide readership it richly deserves.."
-Amartya Sen, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, 1998
