Extrait de la couverture : " This anthology explore the impact of globalisation on Indian women and the struggle for gender equality. Since urban India has taken the initial benefit and brunt of globalisation, the focus here is on urban women, particulary from the educated middle class. The two dozen essays in this book offer insights into : gender identity, gender relations and conceptions of women / violence against women conflict resolution - women and the media / neo-liberal globalisation, from beauty pageants to working conditions / women and information and communication technologies / politics and women's political participation."
