| Summary, etc. | Women and work is an important dimension of the ongoing debate on gender parity. This book is a compilation of essays related to traditional perceptions of women’s work juxtaposed with recent feminist writings on women’s space in India’s labour history. The essays highlight the points and counterpoints of the ongoing debate on the nature, quantification and monetary valuation of women’s work.<br/><br/>https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/women-and-work-in-precolonial-india/book250298#9789351507413 |
