Daily Realities: Feminist Curiosity and Globalization
January 27, 2005
Cynthia Enloe writer

Cynthia Enloe, author of the collection of essays, Bananas, Beaches, and Bases makes sense of globalization and international politics by taking a look into the daily realities in a range of women's lives. She proposes a distinctively feminist curiosity that begins with taking women seriously, especially during this era of unprecedented American influence. This means listening carefully, digging deep, challenging assumptions, and welcoming surprises.
