Describing the way globalisation has affected India over the last decade, the author considers the impact of these changes on women, in the main areas of development due to globalisation: commercialisation, capitalisation, foreign trade orientation, and financialisation and industrial restructuring. She develops the point that the skewed income and wealth structure in India, and the gender discrimination suffered by women, has not altered in the face of the changes brought by globalisation: women continue to lose out, and are losing out more severely than before.
