Reviews

The author highlight the need to strengthen the empowerment of woman in the field of education, land/property and employment. The author revealed varied forms of gender discrimination that exist between and within regions, communities, and caste groups. This volume contains 14 essays which critically evaluate the existing state laws, statutes and customary laws with regard to women's land rights. It is a pioneering work as it combines both fieldwork, and the existing literature on the land rights of women. -- THE TRIBUNE, 22 April 2018
