2. Feminization of agriculture has led to women empowerment in rural India. Critically analyse.

Approach:

♤ Define first what do we mean by two terms-feminization of labour & feminization of poverty & relate it to Indian agriculture. Next would be to talk about how both of them are related to the invisible hand of patriarchy & finally to point out how feminization or defeminisation of labour force is determined by the intertwining of market forces with patriarchy.
