| Title: A Feminine Critique |
| Author: |
| Edition Year: 1998 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Shanta Serbjeet Singh and Jyoti Sabharwal |
| Abstract: This book is a comprehensive and compelling chronicle of a wide swathe of social, political, economic, ecological, philosophical and cultural concerns, offers a portrait of India since 1947, as seen through the eyes of women. This date marks a natural watershed between an India enveloped in the confusion and sterility of nearly three hundred years of alien rule and a leviathan ready to wipe away every challenge in its path. Perhaps, the most important single component of this revolutionary phase in history of India has been the role of its women. From decision-making in every field of national endeavour to managing conflict and stress, within the home and in the workplace, Indian women have played a powerful role in the shaping of India as it nears a new millennium. |

| Title: A Question of a Silence: The Sexual Economies of Modern India |
| Author: |
| Edition Year: 1998 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Mary E. John and Janaki Nair |
| Abstract: Has there been a conspiracy of silence regarding sexuality in India, be it within social movements or as a focus of scholarships? A Question of Silence? Interrogates this assumption in order to thematise a crucial field. Prefaced by a detailed introductory overview, the essays use diverse perspectives to develop an understanding of the institutions, practices and forms of representation of sexual relations and their boundaries of legitimacy. From unraveling the Kamasutra to investigating Kamasutra the volume includes essays on how sexuality has been framed by the law, within social movements, or has been the site for patrolled caste, ethnic or gender identities. Other essays analyze cinematic, television and literary representations of sexuality. Taken as a whole, this book makes room for more wide-ranging approaches for tackling the sexual economies of desire and violence among men and women in modern India. |

| Title: Gandhis Contribution to the Emancipation of Women |
| Author: Aloo J. Dastur and Usha H. Mehta |
| Edition Year: 1991 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book explains the contribution of Gandhi to the emancipation of women. The status of women in society is a measuring rod and a true index of its civilisation and cultural attainment. The Indian woman with her long lineage has left her mark on different periods of our history. To write about the India woman is somewhat difficult as her position has different from period to period, in different parts of the country and in all spheres, social, economic and political. Mahatma Gandhi is perhaps the last in the long line of social reformers, who fought and unceasingly worked for the uplift of women. |

| Title: Gyn Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism |
| Author: Mary Daly |
| Edition Year: 1978 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about the journey of women becoming, that is, radical feminism. The voyage is described and roughly charted here. It says roughly by way of understatement and pun. We do not know exactly what is on the other side until we arrive there and the journey is rough. The charting done here is based on some knowledge from the past, upon present experience and upon hopes for the future. These three sources are inseparable, intertwined. Radical feminist consciousness spirals in all directions, discovering the past, creating dis-closing the present or future. |

| Title: Ladies of the Rope: Gurdjieffs Special Left Bank Womens Group |
| Author: William Patrick Patterson |
| Edition Year: 1999 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book examines the rope, the special women-only group of spiritual seekers that G. I. Gurdjieff formed on left bank of Paris. Breaking vows of secrecy, in the hope that the originality, scale and practicality of the teaching would arouse enough people to undergo the rigors of self-awakening, author understood he would be castigated by initiates and the uninitiated alike. That he took an even further risk and introduced the teaching to the Rope is a subject which until now has never been examined. The conclusions reached by him about why Gurdjieff created the Rope are as original as they are surprising and will be of serious interest to those involved with the Fourth Way and with feminine spirituality in its many forms. |

| Edition Year: 1970 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is a complementary study which examines the moral and social aspects of the emancipation of women movement. It discusses problems which are still very much the subject of controversy and debate, such as divorce, prostitution, birth control and sexual morality. It argues that the narrow, conventional, Victorian moral code was as much the enemy of emancipation of women as lack of the vote and she examines with sympathy the dilemma of the pioneers who, themselves conditioned by contemporary morality, struggled for the liberalization of its various aspects. |

| Author: John Costello |
| Edition Year: 1985 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book charts the change in roles, the watershed in attitudes that altered for ever how men and women view each other. In total war the general mobilization of men into uniform led to recruitment of women into areas unthought of before, back-breaking jobs in factories and shipyards, running transport and working on the land. Women joined the Allied forces in their thousands, too and Russia even sent women into combat. It was on the Axis side that conscription of women was delayed, until the very end of the war and this, Costello argues, surely contributed to defeat. |

| Author: Harriet Goldhor Lerner |
| Edition Year: 1993 |

| Title: The Dust in the Balance: British Women in India 1905-1945 |
| Author: Pat Barr |
| Edition Year: 1989 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book dispels the myth that British women in Victorian India did nothing but flounce round the social circles of Simla and Calcutta. Now it turns her attention to a later generation of women who resided in the country between 1905 and 1945 and proves, even more conclusively, that the stereotype of the frivolous memsahib is by no means a full or fair representation of their kind. It has based narrative on a number of personal interviews, published and unpublished memoirs and tape recordings which provide vivid, illuminating glimpses into the experiences of a large cross-section of British women who lived in very different parts of the country and in very diverse circumstances. |

| Title: The Great Goddess |
| Author: Jean Marale |
| Edition Year: 1999 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is comprehensive exploration of the Goddess figure. It examines how over time patriarchal societies tried to force the preeminent power of the feminine into an obscure and subservient position, shifting her solar association onto masculine deities and discrediting those of her symbols, like the serpent, that could not be easily assimilated. With its extensive investigation of all the myths, sites and sanctuaries devoted to this influential figure, it provides us with abundant evidence of the extraordinary permanence of her worship even at the heart of those religions that tried to destroy her. |

| Title: The Harvey Girls: Women Who Opened the West |
| Author: Lesley Poling-Kempes |
| Edition Year: 1991 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Women Studies |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Harvey girls. From the 1880s to the 1950s, the Hervey girls went to work in restaurants of Fred Harvey along the Stana Fe railway. At a time when there were no ladies west of Dodge City and no women west of Albuquerque, they came as waitresses, but many stayed and settled, founding the struggling cattle and mining towns that dotted the region. Interviews, historical research and photographs help re-create the Harvey Girl experience. The accounts are personal, but laced with the history the women lived, the dust bowl, the depression and anecdotes about some of the many famous people who ate at the restaurants. |

| Abstract: This book explores the role of women as agents and visionaries of peace in south Asia.

Their peace activism is examined in the historical context of their participation in national liberation movements since the early 20th century. The articles in the collection adopt a new approach to understanding peace as a desire to and repression that cuts across caste, class, race and gender and an effort on the part of women to transform their position in society. |
