Hi Sam,

there is a great book on the subject called
"third world women and the politics of feminism" by
mohanty, russo, torres (ed.s) - a collection of essays
on different regional/global feminisms (it's not only
about the third world). although most articles are quite
interesting, one that best answers your question is:
"women's equality and national liberation" by angela
gilliam.

you should also read up on the beijing global conference
of women - and the platform for action - there's tons
of material addressing issues of local vs. global.

regards,
Vera Britto
