Chapter 5 in Rural Women’s Power in South Asia, 2014, pp 133-162 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Focusing on senior women allows us to unmask age differences between women as citizens in South Asia. In this chapter, I focus on how women of 60 years and above create alternative power positions to navigate social, political, cultural, and economic changes.
