5.0 out of 5 stars
The best recent study of gender and patriarchy in India,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gender, Law, and Resistance in India (Hardcover)
This is an excellent, in-depth portrait of the life of women in India, and in particular how women exert influence in a strongly patriarchal society. As a college teacher I am planning to use it regularly both in teaching about India and about women in traditional societies. It might also be useful alongside a text in an introductory course in social anthropology or women's studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent first hand account of women's lives in India,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gender, Law, and Resistance in India (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful, moving academic book. It dispels the myth of monolithic patriarchy in Indian society by showing how women attempt to master their own fates. The author has done the best job in recent years of getting inside the life of a village in India, and we are given vivid descriptions of how women battle male attempts to control them. As a college teacher I plan to use it in courses dealing with women's issues and in cultural studies of India. I recommend it as a reading in intermediate and upper level undergraduate courses on India and on women.
