Book review
A Journey Among the Women of India

In this travelogue, Washington Post reporter in India Elisabeth Bumiller, goes to most parts of India examining the realities of the lives of Indian women: villagers, movie-stars, intellectuals, police-women and others.

‘The book’s chief value lies in the clarity with which it places the women’s question at the centre of our present social, cultural and political crisis.’
—Sunday Observer
