商品詳細
解説
The author argues that 'Purdah' in early twentieth-century Bengal meant far more than secluding women behind veils and walls: it entailed an all-encompassing ideology and code of conduct based on female modesty. Women's political activities, their class-specific existence as daughters, wives, mothers, and widows as well as their education and employment are examined in this framework.
