Women’s world is a world in itself. Similarly, Women Studies as a branch of knowledge has become vast like an ocean. A lot of work has already been done in this area, still there is a dearth of good and exhaustive books, which may be a guiding light for all the scholars and students working on similar subjects or studying the same. This comprehensive book, consisting of three volumes and spread over one thousand odd pages is a valuable addition to the stacks, containing meritorious books. Volume I. Society and Law, approaches the study of women problems and prospects and the legal aspects have been examined in the socio-cultural settings. Volume II. Education and Empowerment, provides information on women education and their empowerment in a historical perspective. Volume III. Work and Development, is designed to provide information on gender and economic participation and the related problems of working Women at various levels. This voluminous book is the outcome of a painstaking research for years and compilation of material from hundreds of sources spread all over. This worthwhile book must prove to be a catalyst in the process of social change and be a part of the ongoing historic struggle, to be extended to the next millennium.
