The book provides insights into the prevailing patriarchal system
in rural Pakistan. It elaborates on the kinship system in rural
Sindh and explores how young married women strategize and negotiate
with patriarchy. Drawing on qualitative methodologies, the book
reveals the strong relationship between poverty and the
perpetuation of patriarchy. Women's strategies help elevate their
position in their families, such as attention to household tasks,
producing children, and doing handicraft work for their well-being.
These conditions are usually seen as evidence of women's
subordination, but these are also strategies for survival where
accommodation to patriarchy wins them approval. The book concludes
that women's life-long struggle is, in fact, a technique of
negotiating with patriarchy. In so doing, they internalize the
culture that rests on their subordination and reproduce it in older
age in exercising power by oppressing other junior women.
