Description
With over 40 million widows-highest in the world-India confronts widowhood not just as loss, but as a gendered crisis marked by centuries of beliefs, taboos, rituals, discriminatory practices and economic exclusion. Speaking (of) Widows, a powerful volume from the Gender Equity Studies, Centre of Janki Devi Memorial College and the Guild of Service, attempts to bring together cultural critique, legal analysis, and grassroots research-including voices of Vrindavan widows.
