About this title

Synopsis

The Veiled Women draws on a large range of popular sources such as folk songs, oral traditions and interviews as well as statistical data and archival material to explore major issues regarding the position of women in North India. Covering a period of a hundred years, Prem Chowdhry explores women's participation in the process of production and reproduction especially among landholding classes; the exclusion of women from the control of resources; the consequences of the new agricultural technologies on women and their work; and the resistance of patriarchial society to a change in the legal position of women.
