This book depicts one South Indian village during the fifty-year
period when women's education became a possibility-and then a
reality. Despite illiteracy, religious ritual marking them as
inferior, and pre-pubertal marriages, the daughters and
granddaughters of the silent, passive women of the 1960s have
morphed into assertive, self-confident millennial women. Helen E.
Ullrich considers the following questions: can education alter the
perception of women as inferior and forever childlike? What happens
when women refuse the mantle of socialized passivity? Throughout
The Women of Totagadde, Helen Ullrich pushes us to consider how
women's lives and society at large have been altered through
education.
This edited volume focuses on the impact of education among
different social groups in different geographical areas of South
Asia. The chapters illustrate the effects of formal education on
castes ranging from Dalits to Brahmins, Buddhists, and Christians,
even as they consider a range of topics such as the relevance of
practical knowledge prior to formal teaching, the personal
educational experiences of young women, missionary education,
curriculum, and the challenges and benefits of Information
Technology. The geographical areas range from Sri Lanka and Nepal
to various Indian states, including Karnataka, Tamilnadu,
Maharastra, Odisha, and Rajasthan.
