- Description
- The book focuses on how the notion of being 'high caste, as it developed and transformed during the colonial period, contributed to the formation of a 'middle class' among the Hindus and the Sikhs in the Punjab. This had an impact on gender relations, as caste was seen as a quality 'attached' to men, making women's relationship to it ambiguous.

- Description
- This book aims at re-examining the issue of 'everyday resistance' through the lens of women's experiences in colonial South Asia. The overwhelming image of Indian women during the period is one of passivity, with the exception of some outstanding figures. The attempt in the present volume is to unearth a narrative of deeper and more enduring resistance offered by less extraordinary women in their daily lives. This collection of essays brings together unconventional sources such as women's songs, photographs, and embroidery, but equally from legal records, memoirs, and published work, to present women in far more assertive and/or subversive roles.

- Description
- Samita Sen's history of laboring women in Bengal in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries considers how social constructions of gender shaped their lives. The author demonstrates how the long-term trends in the Indian economy devalued women's labor, establishing patterns of urban migration and changing gender equations within the family. She relates these trends to the spread of dowry, enforced widowhood and child marriage.

- Description
- In India betekende 'purdah' of 'pardah' niet alleen de volledige afsluiting en buitensluiting van vrouwen, maar ook een allesomvattende ideologie en gedragscode gebaseerd op vrouwelijke bescheidenheid. De politieke participatie aan de nationale beweging sinds 1930 betekende een doorbraak. Aandacht voor de ontwikkelingen en verschillen tussen vrouwen van verschillende sociale klasse in hun rol als moeders, dochters, echtgenotes en weduwen.
