ABOUT THE BOOK
Many scholars have concerned themselves with the
problems of working women. The author of this
volume, Dr. (Smt.) Bharati Debi, has also involved
in studying the problem. Her study differs from
others, to be accredited as being the first
anthropological attempt in addressing this topical
field. It is based on data generated through the first
hand research investigation designed and
accomplished meaningfully.
This microstudy harps on the intimate problems of
working women like work, working environment,
home, family, interpersonal relationship, status, etc.
By so doing, it tries to assess the role of working
women that swings between the two diametrically
opposite poles, poles, of home and work. How
skillfully and harmoniously they are attempting to
synthesize these two roles, striking a balance
between change and continuity, has been
highlighted through the study.
