Grand narratives of globalization have frequently adopted a gender-neutral (and implicitly masculine) stance, while women typically are represented as pure victims of globalization, either coerced to migrate or limited to the local scale, mired in their bodies and familial relations. 'The Global and the Intimate' seeks to push past this dichotomy to locate agency for women and to understand how deeply global forces penetrate the intimate spaces of our psyches and bodies.
