About This Item
Chicago.: The University of Chicago Press.. Reprint.. 1975.. Black and white photographic illustrations, 205pp, index, references, notes, appendices, bookplate front free endpaper, prior owner's signature front free endpaper, dustjacket worn and a little faded, a clean and sound copy. 22 x 15cm. "The revealing study illuminates the disparity between the expectations and the realities of life for upper-class Bengali women as expressed by the women themselves. Manisha Roy, born of Bengali parents but reared in another state and educated in the United States, brings to her work the insights of an insider with the research techniques of an anthropologist. The result is at once a unique contribution to South Asian studies and a moving portrait of the conflicting roles of daughter, wife, and mother." - dustjacket blurb. .
