"For the most part, development organizations are gendered institutions built on patriarchal power and privilege, which unfortunately are often assumed to be gender neutral... Today, there is a sense that feminism is passé, that women are not oppressed, and that if there are inequalities, they are part of 'culture'.... Tiessen has very ably demonstrated that for development initiatives to succeed, gender must be front and centre."—Canadian Journal of Development Studies
