Review | 101 Feminism, Empowerment and Development: Changing Women’s Lives. Edited by Andrea Cornwall and Jenny Edwards, 2012, Zed Books, London Sehin Teferra Feminisms, Empowerment and Development: Changing Women’s Lives edited by Andrea Cornwall and Jenny Edwards (2014, Zed Books) provides a thorough, and very necessary, examination of the empowerment model that straddles feminism and development principles and rhetoric. An output of the Pathways of Women’s Empowerment research programme, a five-year project conducted by an international network of researchers, the impressive collection of conceptual and empirical research investigates the meaning of empowerment in women’s lives in diverse settings.

In many of the case studies, the programme examines the effects of interventions executed by well-meaning development agencies, drawing a distinction between policies, programmes and laws, thereby ‘complicating’ the narratives of empowerment. Subsequent chapters investigate other welltraveled paths of empowerment such as legal reform in Egypt (the author concludes that there is no direct path to empowerment and that processes need to be participatory), and quotas as a tool of political empowerment for women in Latin America which, while chronicling impressive, effective
