The series entitled 'Bengal Miscellany' has been designed to focus on the different aspects of Bengal's history, economy and culture through academic papers written by eminent scholars and young researchers. The first volume in the series was published in June 2008. The present volume, second in the series, brings together fifteen rich, informative and will-researched articles which were previously published in 'CLIO', the interdisciplinary journal of the Corpus Research Institute, Kolkata. The range of topics covered is impressive. Each article deals with a specific and well-defined theme. However, the volume throws light especially on women's history, which has emerged recently as a new field of study.
