Women have been undermined for a very long time and men tend to be seen as superior to woman due to biological determinism. They are more strongly build and hence, are seen as more fit for the work environment. Women for the most part in the past have played their roles as housewives and looking after the children, while the man brings the income needed. Gender is socially constructed and there are norms around how woman should act and what their roles are. Ester Boserup spoke on two systems of subsistence agriculture. One involves males being the sole providers for food and the other deals with woman being involved in the agricultural business. The world we live in today is very much different from the world in the 1800s. Most often with the rising costs of living both husband and wife work to provide a good life for their families. Woman working is also good for the economy because jobs such as cleaning jobs are mostly done by woman and that can leave the more physical demanding jobs to men. This view is mostly due to biological determinism and socially constructed gender roles. Woman can, however, do some of the same jobs that men can. In Africa there is less technological development since it mostly has third world countries. Hence, there are less agricultural machines to do the work and both men and women take part in cultivating and agriculture. Agriculture is important in a countries development because it is part of the primary sector and also later forms parts of exports in the secondary sector. Land reform has led to woman losing the rights they had. Woman lost the jobs they had and thus, they were seen as inferior to men. There are also different feminist development approaches which include Women in Development (WID), Women and Development (WAD), Gender and Development (GAD), lastly Postmodernism and Development (PAD). WID was created in critique against modernisation. Modernisation was contributing to the diminishing of the status of women. This theory highlighted the important role woman play in agriculture. Welfare which includes economic and social development was thought to be able to better their development. However, policies were made with woman as passive participants and social and economic development gave way to inequality. In the approach of WAD, it goes against the WID approach and focuses on equality for woman and that this will help fix the position of women in society bringing up their status. This approach also takes from the dependency theory. Integrating woman into development made the inequality worse. This approach could work in South Africa because inequality itself is focused on. GAD focuses on how men and women are affected by development. It is not just gender that plays a part in inequality but also race and religion. It focuses on all the forces that influence inequality and makes sure both men and women. Women are involved in development but do not benefit from it as they should. This approach can work in South Africa because it takes both inequality and the fact that women do not always benefit from development into consideration. If all factors that affect development are looked at, not only for woman as a gender but factors such as race as well. Lastly PAD looks at woman regaining power and having equality.
