Notes:	Discusses the recent increase in women’s participation in the labour market in Bangladesh, highlighting some of the factors that have contributed to this socio-cultural shift. A critique of some of the assumptions underlying contemporary definitions and approaches to patriarchy is provided as is a critique of assumptions underlying women’s labour force participation. Essentially the article challenges the reader to question whether it is possible to develop a perspective on shifting gender relations which neither disregards nor exaggerates the role of patriarchy.
