本文探讨了妇女获得创收机会对她们在家庭内部关系中的地位的影响。对于那些认为这种关系是平等的人来说，这个问题似乎无关紧要;然而，对于其他人来说，那些对赚钱能力对妇女地位的影响提供乐观分析的人和那些提供更悲观预测的人之间存在意见分歧。在探讨这个问题时，本文利用孟加拉国最近出现的出口导向型服装厂女工的第一手资料，既为了评估与社会科学文献中家庭内部关系的理论见解的“契合度”，并评估女工描述的“日常生活现实”告诉我们家庭内部权力的运作方式-孟加拉国城市的家庭。
This article examines the implications of women's access to income-earning opportunities for their position in intra-household relationships. For those who believe that such relationships are egalitarian, this issue may not appear relevant; for others, however, there is a divergence of views between those who offer an optimistic analysis of the effects of earning power for women's status, and those who provide a more pessimistic prognosis. In exploring this issue, the article makes use of first-hand accounts of women workers in the recently emergent export-oriented garment factories in Bangladesh, both in order to evaluate the 'fit' with theoretical insights of intra-household relations from the social science literature, and to assess what the 'everyday lived realities' described by the women workers tell us about the workings of power within family-based households in urban Bangladesh.
