Description
Provides a description of sociocultural issues affecting the lives of working women residents of Lahore's Walled City. Anita Weiss, a scholar long associated with gender development issues in Pakistan, reveals here the interplay between Islamic religious ideals and traditionally embedded orientations, and how women respond to practical economic needs. The new introduction sets the present context, revealing how women continue to struggle to have their productive contributions recognised, and how they strive to make their voices heard in Pakistan.
