Resumen
VILLAREAL MARTINEZ, Magdalena. La economía desde una perspectiva de género: de omisiones, inexactitudes y preguntas sin responder en el análisis de la pobreza. La ventana [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.25, pp.7-42. ISSN 1405-9436.
This article discusses the ways in which several financial, social and cultural myths and assumptions thwart a better understanding of the workings of the economy in which low-income women participate. It argues that some of the guiding principles concerning gender studies about poverty are based on misleading notions about money, capital, and the economy. In the ensuing processes of calculation, key variables are frequently omitted, thus obscuring possible paths to social change. Development expectations for these women tend to be formulated, in the best of cases, on the basis of good, but naïve, intentions.
