Tahir, as a starting point you may find readings by Maria Mies useful and 
of interest to you.  I would recommend:

Maria Mies, PATRIARCHY AND ACCUMULATION ON A WORLD SCALE: WOMEN IN THE
INTERNATIONAL DIVISION OF LABOR, 1986.

Please let us know what you discover in your search for our own 
interest.  Good luck!
