Processing Note
As this collection came in multiple installments, the archivist had to identify and combine related documents. The materials for Irene Tinkers book, Developing Power: How Women Transformed International Development, were arranged alphabetically by the name of the author of each chapter and include drafts, comments and correspondence.
In organizing the subject files within this collection, the archivist used the categories assigned by Irene Tinker whenever possible. Additional categories were created as needed. The archivist placed material in the category Gender when it related to the relationship between men and women in development, or the material focused on men. The term Women was used when materials related specifically to the role of women. In the cases where there was not enough gender material to warrant its own folder, these materials were categorized with women and vice versa.
