Abstract

In their 1988 book, Women and Environment in the Third World, Irene Dankelman and Joan Davidson mention three issues that refl ect the relationship between women and the small-scale fisheries (SSF) in Central America: first, how difficult it is to talk about women and SSF without ignoring the vast economic, cultural and social differences that exist among women even within a particular country and region; two, the tremendous work burden these diverse groups of women shoulder; and three, the fact that rural women have been the invisible workforce, the unacknowledged backbone of the family economy in Central America’s small-scale fi sheries.
