This study emphasizes the need for relativistic theories and
differentiated social strategies which may be sensitive to the
realities of different societies. The book is about a variety of
efforts to help women overcome constraints imposed upon them by a
network of social relationships, attitudes of men and gaps in
social policy. Such attempts have consisted of an unrelenting
demand for structural changes, regenerative efforts and involvement
of women in participatory processes within newly created economic
and political institutions. These have set in motion a gradual
change in gender relationships. The book criticizes general
theories which ignore racial and cultural differences and argues
that gender relationships will change only when women seek their
own self-development. Geeta Somjee has spent several years doing
longitudinal field research in rural and urban India.
