Chapter 4 in Rural Women’s Power in South Asia, 2014, pp 67-132 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I explore ways in which women are not just recipients of change but active agents in different forms of change (Malhotra et al. 2002). I also explore women’s unequal responses to the resources available to them as they acquire new roles to expand their arenas of self-determination in the burgeoning public and private spheres of their respective countries. Also, I focus on the processes and institutional structures that influence the ways in which women craft and assert power.
