From reviews of the first edition:"The book has a clear and readable style, moving easily between vignettes of marketwomen's lives, descriptions of the markets themselves, and surveys of the theoretical literature. Babb's long, close involvement with the Huaraz markets is apparent. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Andean markets, I found the book pleasurable to read, because it recreated the experience of the marketplace so well."--American Ethnologist"Between Field and Cooking Pot offers details of the daily lives of marketwomen in the central Andean departmental capital of Huaraz. . . . A welcome addition to studies of women and international development, this book contains a wealth of firsthand material, collected through informal participant-observation as well as formal interviews and analysis of statistical data. . . . The book encourages us to imagine how the dynamic culture of marketwomen might intersect with the construction, representation, and effects of class and gender."--American Anthropologist"The book has a clear and readable style, moving easily between vignettes of marketwomen's lives, descriptions of the markets themselves, and surveys of the theoretical literature.

Het is een feit dat het spierweefsel van mannen meer kracht kan ontwikkelen dan dat van vrouwen - maar is daarmee bewezen dat mannen de luxe-uitvoering zijn van het merk dat 'mens' heet? Hebben vrouwen zich niet veel te lang in de luren laten leggen en hun lichaamskracht verwaarloosd?
In De mythe van breekbaarheid gaat Colette Dowling de strijd aan met de gedachte dat mannen het sterke geslacht zijn. Want lichamelijke ontwikkeling en zelfvertrouwen, laat De mythe van breekbaarheid overtuigend zien, gaan hand in hand. Het einde van de vrouwelijke breekbaarheid is dan ook nabij.
