About This Item
Cambridge, England, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 1994. This is the first major study of gender and property in South Asia; it argues that the most important economic factor affecting women's status is the control of property; that women's lack of rights to property, particularly land, explains their economic, social, and political subordination; it examines women's resistance to gender inequality, and how barriers to owning land can be overcome (gray & red pictorial cover with photo of Gujarati woman farmer on the front; a bright, clean, tight copy in nearly perfect condition; in stock & available for immediate shipment from a reliable, independent bookstore). Trade Paperback. As New.
