Third World women speak out, a collaborative venture of the Agency for International Development Office of Women in Development, the International Center for Research on Women, and the Overseas Development Council, is part of a continuing effort by these agencies to prepare and publish materials illustrating women's roles and status in the developing world. Its focus is on women at the grassroots and their direct expression of their own ideas on change, development, and basic needs. It is based on materials gathered by Perdita Huston in six developing countries, in the course of a study of women's views on family planning, published by the Epoch B Foundation in 1978 as Message from the Village. In this book Huston expands the scope of her reporting to cover women's perspectives on a wider range of development issues. While the interviews are unstructured in format and therefore highly personal, the book also contains a content analysis of the tapes, conducted by social scientists at the ICRW, which complements Huston's journalistic presentation. -- Review from http://www.jstor.org (Sep. 15, 2016).
