N2 - This article begins by outlining the position of women and work in the GlobalSouth, highlighting the precarity of their labour market participation. It thenargues that the experiences of these women are often examined within aone-dimensional analytical framework and are therefore invisible in theintersectional literature, which tends to take a Western-centric approach. Italso contends that existing research fails to consider the particular domesticand cultural circumstances of the women so examined and how their locationin these spaces impacts on their experiences of work. It then argues for anexamination of women and work in the Global South that takes an intersectionalapproach that recognises the complexity of their experiences as generated bymulti-categorical and multilevel strands of inequality. It goes on to introducethe contributions to this special issue, which explore inequality through anintersectional lens.
