内容説明
Interest in the social and economic history of Indian women is relatively new. It has emerged as an aspect of the world-wide focus on feminist themes and perspectives, as well as out of the shift in Indian historiography from elite politics to the working population. The essays in this volume contribute in empirical and theoretical ways to this area of studies on Indian women. Contributors examine the Hindu Widow's Remarriage Act of 1856, the problems of female infanticide in central Gujarat, and link the sex-specific survival in one community with ecological, economic, political and marital factors.
