Abstract :The work of Janet Gale Stotsky, ‘Using Fiscal Policy and Public Financial Management to Promote Gender Equality: International Perspectives,’ is analysed in this book review in relation to the integration of gender equality into public financial management and fiscal policy. The book makes the case that gender equality ought to be a key component of macroeconomic management and budgetary procedures in addition to being a subcomponent of social policy. Stotsky shares a comprehensive overview of the theoretical underpinnings, real-world applications, and policy instruments of gender-responsive budgeting. Stotsky also assesses the possibility of equitable results from tax reforms, social spending, and public investments. Because of its interdisciplinary approach, the study integrates the literatures of development economics, public finance theory, and feminist economics. The book\\\'s methodical structure of policy recommendations and empirically supported examples are among its strong points; on the other hand, it falls short in addressing micro-level assessments and the reasons behind policy failures. This examination addresses potential fields for further research while highlighting the work\\\'s contributions to the academic literature and policymaking.
Keywords : Gender-Responsive Budgeting, Public Budgeting, Fiscal Policies
