• Taxation and Gender Equity. Edited by Caren Grown and Imraan Valodia (Routledge 2010). Around the world, there are concerns that many tax codes are biased against women, and that contemporary tax reforms tend to increase the incidence of taxation on the poorest women while failing to generate enough revenue to fund the programs needed to improve these women’s lives. This is the first book to systematically examine gender and taxation within and across countries at different levels of development. It presents original research on the gender dimensions of personal income taxes, and value-added, excise, and fuel taxes in Argentina, Ghana, India, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, Uganda and the United Kingdom. This book is of interest to postgraduates and researchers studying Public Finance, International Economics, Development Studies, Gender Studies, and International Relations, among other disciplines

• Development, Crisis, and Alternative Visions: Third World Women's Perspectives. Gita Sen and Caren Grown.  More than half of the world's farmers are women. They are the majority of the poor, the uneducated and are the first to suffer from drought and famine. Yet their subordination is reinforced by well-meaning development policies that perpetuate social inequalities. This book analyses three decades of policies towards Third World women. Focusing on global economic and political crises, debt, famine, militarization, fundamentalism, the authors show how women's moves to organize effective strategies for basic survival are central to an understanding of the development process.
