从国际发展机构、政府部门和主流马克思主义者到许多妇女组织，妇女的从属地位源于缺乏就业机会，可以通过提供足够的就业机会来结束，这种观念根深蒂固，并得到广泛的舆论支持。我们在苏塞克斯大学发展研究所举办的妇女在发展进程中处于从属地位问题讲习班上的工作使我们拒绝将这一观点作为出发点。我们不认为问题是妇女被排除在发展进程之外。恰恰是妇女“融入"发展进程的各种关系需要提出问题并加以调查。因为这种关系很可能是问题的一部分，而不是解决办法的一部分。因此，我们的出发点是，必须从这些工厂给在其中工作的第三世界妇女带来的新的可能性和新的问题的角度来评估世界市场工厂。
The idea that women's subordinate position stems from a lack of job opportunities, and can be ended by the provision of sufficient job opportunities, is deeply rooted and held by a wide spectrum of opinion, from international development agencies, government bureaux and mainstream Marxists to many women's organizations. Our work in the Workshop on the Subordination of Women in the process of development at the Institute of Development Studies, Sussex University, has led us to reject this perspective as a starting point. We do not accept that the problem is one of women being left out of the development process. Rather, it is precisely the relations through which women are 'integrated' into the development process that need to be problematized and investigated. For such relations may well be part of the problem, rather than part of the solution. Our starting point, therefore, is the need to evaluate world market factories from the point of view of the new possibilities and the new problems which they raise for Third World women who work in them.
