Abstract
Anthropological research on gender and water has a long and complex history. In part, this is due to gender studies and its interactions with “traditional” fields such as anthropology, economics, engineering, environmental science, and social sciences. Although divergent in theories and geographical coverage, anthropological perspectives on gender and water share key themes in questioning dominant assumptions about gender norms and relations to water, marginalization, and inequality in water access, and highlighting the difference of scale, from households to the national and global. This entry provides an overview of the diverse ways in which gender and water have been studied and understood from anthropological perspectives.
