Abstract
The World Development Report (WDR) is the flagship publication of the World Bank. The 2012 report, Gender Equality and Development (GED), is an important contribution to the existing literature on this theme and a useful update for the World Banks staff. It also represents a new push to raise the profile of gender equality among a variety of official development actors. In this review I situate GED in the broader development context, discuss its key findings and some shortcomings and suggest how it should be used by advocates and allies concerned with eliminating gross gender injustice and global poverty.
