"This book–the second in the series of five volumes in honour of eminent sociologist and social anthropologist, M.N. Srinivas–focuses on the changing status of women in Indian society. The distinguished contributors cover a wide range of issues concerning women. These include the gender bias in development policies; women’s participation in production processes in rural as well as urban settings; socio-cultural dimensions of women’s education during the colonial period; and the deeper structures and processes which lie behind female infanticide in northern and western India."
