The Working Woman Indian Perspectives on Stereotypes, Marginalisation and Empowerment

The book navigates the working women's representations, marginalisations and empowerment mapped by Indian scholars from varied disciplines. It is an important and significant intervention in discourses on empowerment and development. It carries invigorating insights as the scholars cast their lens on the working woman engaged in a range of professions such as theatre actor and director, care giver, the nautch girl in colonial India and those working in the informal sector and the formal corporate sector.
