Abstract

This paper examines the impact of mechanisation and commercialisation on small-scale fish traders in Kerala, India, with special emphasis on gender and the impact of economic transformation on women fish traders. It explores the relationship of women's work in distribution to production and how this has changed with capatilist development. It is argued that because women's role in the fisheries economy has been overlooked, they have experienced economic marginalisation and their labour has become extremely important for household survival and the ecological crisis.
