ABSTRACT

Kyprianou, M.-H. (comp.) Bibliography on gender and fisheries (1990-2001). FAO Fisheries Circular. No. 969. Rome. FAO. 2001. 42p. In the last 20 years the issue of “Women in Fisheries” (WIF) has become increasingly important. WIF as a term underlines not only the role of women in the fishery industry as such but also women as wives and mothers with all their household activities. The aim of this work is to bring the issue of WIF closer to readers and offer them an overview of a wide range of documents on women’s participation and role in the fishing industry. The study’s focus is from 1990 to date. The bibliography is divided into five main parts: monographs, articles, documentaries, projects and workshop papers, and website addresses on WIF.
