This volume offers valuable insights into the lives of Indian women by taking into account the complex interlinking of class, caste, ethinicity, religion, nation, state policy and gender. The themes taken up in the various essays in this volume are crucial to the understanding and experience of gender in India. The essays are divided into six interrelated section: family/law; body/sexzuality; knowledge system; work; creativity/voices; and politics. Within these broad frameworks, the 30 contributors to this volume explore the operation of power and women`s resistence to it, and how they continue to play role in modern day India. Drawing in themes across disciplines and across India to raise our awareness of overt and covert discriminations against women, the book reminds us of the multiple ways in which women manage to survive and thrive despite familial, community and state neglect.
