Voices from Within: Women in Bengal Through Early Personal Narratives

These "voices" belong to some remarkable and courageous women who questioned and commented on their own lives and times in nineteenth and twentieth-century Bengal. Excerpts from biographies, memoirs, and letters have been used to bring them to life. What also comes alive in this study is a rich pattern of the lives of upper middle class women in large and oftentimes joint families, and their relationships with the men of the family as well as with other women.Karlekar, Malavika is the author of 'Voices from Within: Women in Bengal Through Early Personal Narratives', published 1993 under ISBN 9780195630893 and ISBN 0195630890.
