book review: The Gender Effect: Capitalism, Feminism, and the Corporate Politics of Development by Kathryn Moeller
In The Gender Effect: Capitalism, Feminism, and the Corporate Politics of Development, Kathryn Moeller presents a nuanced analysis of the co-constituting relationship between the emergence of adolescent girls as a unique demographic category in global development discourse, and the increased, highly visible participation of corporations in the project of development. Drawing on discursive analysis and ethnographic research, Moeller is particularly interested in why private foundations and corporations have increasingly chosen the empowerment of adolescent girls as the site through which to ‘do good’, and how their deployment of the ‘Girl Effect’ discourse depoliticises calls for global gender equality while upholding capitalist logic and exploitative corporate practices.

As well as academic articles we publish experimental pieces, visual and textual media and political interventions, including, for example, interviews, short stories, poems and photographic essays.
