Summary

The book provides new empirical data on the ways in which gender and 'race' interact in South Asian women’s lives. It offers a greater understanding of the concept of patriarchy as experienced by South Asian women and argues that women’s cultural experiences (such as arranged marriages and dowries) influence the different forms of patriarchy they experience.
