Description

Bangladesh's deltas are the front lines of the climate crisis-but they are also front rows for women's ingenuity. Rising Tide, Resilient Voices follows Dr. Mumita Tanjeela deep into cyclone¿lashed coasts, drought¿parched plains, flood¿soaked river basins, and precarious hill settlements to hear how women navigate escalating hazards that threaten land, livelihoods, and life itself. Using a feminist¿political¿ecology lens and more than one hundred life¿history interviews, Tanjeela reveals the unseen labour that holds households together, the gendered power gaps that magnify risk, and the quiet revolutions sparked when women organise cyclone¿preparedness teams, community seed banks or off¿farm micröenterprises. Each chapter pairs rigorous analysis with first¿person narratives-climate champions whose stories of loss, leadership, and hope challenge portrayals of women as passive victims. The book also offers a sharp critique of adaptation policy, showing where national frameworks succeed or fall short in recognising women's knowledge, agency, and rights. Richly documented yet deeply human, Rising Tide, Resilient Voices is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and anyone committed to climate justice and gender equity. It proves that when Bangladeshi women speak, plan, and act, resilience is not only possible-it is already underway.
