Overview of Women and Work in Precolonial India: A Reader Book

A compilation of ancient Indian texts with feminist perspectives on women s work Women and work is an important dimension of the ongoing debate on gender parity. This book is a compilation of essays related to traditional perceptions of women s work juxtaposed with recent feminist writings on women s space in India s labour history. The essays highlight the points and counterpoints of the ongoing debate on the nature, quantification and monetary valuation of women s work. Beginning with writings on the theme of women and work, and going on to historically plot women s agency in labour processes, this book seeks to provide a panoramic survey of women and work in precolonial India. It is an endeavour to salvage the available data on women s work - paid and unpaid as well as visible and less visible in order to highlight their contribution and indicate the changes in women s labour history.
