Coming Out of Partition - Refugee Women of Bengal

Exploring the category of 'refugee women' as it emerged in the events of the Bengal Partition, the book claims that they have not only played an important role in shaping women's movement but also have been responsible for the radical reorientation of social lives in Bengal as they rebuild and reshaped their lives in alien conditions.
