Visibilising Women: Facets of History Through a Gender Lens

This books is an attempt to understand, through a gender lens the ways in which society has been shaped, and the reins for that shaping. Women in Indian society, as everywhere, constitute half of its members, but still figure very little in its historiography. the papers collected here focus on different facets of women's history, but are linked by the common thread of trying to make visible, that which was invisible.
