解説

Popular Western images of Indian women range from the submissive bride behind her veil to the powerful, active women of Indian politics. Focusing on the mundane rather than the exotic, this book explores the complex interplay between the power of social structures to constrain individuals, and the ways in which women negotiate these constraints to carve out places for themselves. Based on information collected by the authors during their research in villages in Uttar Pradesh, the book offers eight life histories of Hindu and Muslim women. They represent a variety of class positions and domestic circumstances, illustrating many aspects of north-Indian village life. Interspersed with thematic discussions composed of dialogues, episodes and songs, the life histories deal with topics such as the birth of children, worries about dowry, arranging weddings, sexual politics in marriage, relationships with in-laws and with natal kin, and widowhood.
