About the Book
In this engaging and eloquent history, Ruby Lal explores the evolution of nineteenth-century Indian women by critiquing the narratives of a linear transition from girlhood to womanhood. In the patriarchal society of northern India, women’s lives were shaped by the expectations of the male-dominated universe, particularly reflected in household chores and domestic responsibilities.
Through an insightful examination of these social structures, the book challenges traditional perceptions of women's roles and provides a deeper understanding of the ways in which their identities were formed and shaped by patriarchal norms. This work offers an essential perspective for those interested in the history and sociology of women in colonial India.
