In this comprehensive analysis of gender and property in South
Asia, Bina Agarwal argues that the most important economic factor
affecting women is the gender gap in command over property. In
rural South Asia, the crucial form of property is arable land, a
critical determinant of economic well-being, social status and
empowerment. Few women own land, however, and even fewer control
it. By drawing upon a wide range of economic, legal, historical and
ethnographic sources and field research, the author addresses the
reasons for this imbalance, and asks how the barriers to land
ownership can be overcome. The study identifies regional variations
across five South Asian countries and explores the interface of
economics, culture and gender politics through an interdisciplinary
and cross-cultural approach. The book offers insights into the
current theoretical and policy debates on land reform and women's
status.
