Abstract: The control of women's sexuality is a theme that is insufficiently integrated into socialist-feminist analysis. This paper attempts to suggest some ways in which the control of women's sexuality is inherent in women's status in reproduction and production and hence in women's subordination. It starts with a cross-cultural comparison of sexual control in India versus the West, and goes on to examine the impact of sexual control on women's place in family, community and labor-market in India.
