Introduction / Marcia Texler Segal, Vasilikie Demos -- Gender segregation in the hidden laborforce: looking at the relationship between the formal and informal economies / Karrie Ann Snyder --Resettlement andrisk: women's community work in Lesotho / Yvonne A. Braun -- Lessons from India: applying a "Third World" framework to examine the impacts of fisheries crisis on women in Newfoundland villages / Donna Harrison, Nicole Gerarda Power -- Gender, economic development and the Puerto Rican welfare state / Marietta Morrissey -- Dual-earner couples' expectations for joint retirement: a study of typical and atypical congruent andnon-congruent couples / Autumn Behringer, Carolyn C. Perrucci, RichardHogan -- The globalization of sexual harassment / John Markert -- Women's work-related and family-related discrimination and support in academia / Liisa Husu -- "Working much harder and always having to prove yourself": immigrant women's labor force experiences in the Canadian Maritimes / Evangelia Tastsoglou, Baukje Miedema -- Shooting the messenger and the message: the social basis of authority challenges in Canadian law school settings / Annette Nierobisz, John Hagan -- Processes of gendering and the institutionalization of gender in the family and school: acase study from Nepal/ Jennifer Rothchild.

The ten papers in "Gender Realities: Local and Global" document the types of work in which women engage, and gender equity issues they face. They show both the importance of considering the uniqueness of cultural contexts for understanding and resolving problems and how global interdependenceaffects local gender realities. The papers fall into two broad and overlapping categories: gender, work and development, and gender and discrimination. Papers related to particular settings focus on the resettlement of villagers in Lesotho, the development of welfare policies in Puerto Rico, the experiences of fishery workers in Newfoundland and of immigrants to Maritime Canada, decisions made byretired couples in the United States, problems faced by academics in Finnish universities, classroom interaction in Canadian law schools, and attitudes of and about school children in Nepal. Other papers examine the role of gender in the informal economy worldwide and the globalization of sexual harassment. Authors based in the United States, Canada and Finland employ a variety of qualitative andquantitative research methods includingextensive field work, interviews, surveys, and literature reviews. An introduction by the editors relates the papers to one another and to broad gender themes. Each paper includes an extensive reference list and the volume index allows readers to track specific topics from one paperto the next.
