Abstract of Article

Title:	Capitalist Development and Women's Work: A Nigerian Case Study
Author:	Carolyne Dennis
Location:	Vol.10 No.27/28 (Winter 1983), pp109-119

This is a study of women textile worker's in the Odu'Atex factory in Ado-Ekiti in Ondo State. The internationalisation of the gender division of labour through the employment of women as cheap labour does not necessarily follow the same paths as those documented, for example, in the world market factories in Asia and Latin America. Historical patterns and cultural attitudes concerning women's rights to work and women's 'aptitudes' effect the pattern of integration of women in the industrial labour market.
