International Feminist Journal of Politics
Routledge Press, 2007


A Special Issue with guest editors' introductions, critical essays, narratives, poetry, and book reviews that respond to a growing concern for the unequal access men and women have to water in an increasingly fragile physical environment.

“Consumers International (CI), which represents consumer organizations in 115 countries, officially made the link between women and water on International Women’s Day in 2004 when it announced that water is a consumer right and that women are in the forefront of needing and securing that right. This special issue is an expression of our deep admiration for women all around the world who are putting their bodies and their lives on the line for water.”
