Book Synopsis
A collection of essays examining the intersection between water conservation and women's roles in a variety of Latin American settings—rural and urban, across a range of countries.

Trade Review
Opposing Currents provides a comprehensive overview of women's disadvantages with respect to water rights in Latin America and why and how this matters. In a series of lively essays, the authors in this volume demonstrate that women are central in the provision, management, and safeguarding of water [and] make a compelling case for a gender perspective in water policy, water management, and water projects. -Carmen Diana Deere, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; ""Offers an innovative interpretation of the interaction of two powerful currents: competition for access to scarce usable water in societies undergoing wrenching socioeconomic change, and the emerging influence of women as a significant political force in Latin America""-John J. Bailey, Georgetown University
