Women studies as a distinct field emerged in India in the mid-seventies. But preoccupation with the position of women dates back to more than a century and a half. By the use of methods of history, literary criticism and analysis of discourse, this volume seeks not only to illustrate the broadening of the sphere of women studies in India in recent years, but also to point to the need for relating ideas about women and gender relations to the social and economic forces that shape history.

Indian mythology and Indian history have sent forth from age to age female martyars and lady workers who have inspired the suceeding generations with the ever memorable traditions of the womanhood of India. To-day when the old values have eroded and the morality is at its lowest ebb, the present generation should learn from the past if they want a better tomorrow. The present volume show the real womanhood of India as it appears to an Indian imbued in the traditions of his native land. The lives of twenty Indian women have been featured. The author has taken from the ancient period, Arudhati, Sati and Shiaba as instances of purity, self-consecration and constancy. Story of Seeta, Savitri and Gandhari as instances of self-abnegation, ideality and righteousness. From the medieval period are depiced the lives of princess Padmini who epitomized the Rajput ideas of chivarly, valour and family honour.

"Women and Indian Society: Options and Constraints is all about the women of India: the way they were perceived during the ancient times, the perceptions of their role in a matriarchal society, and the changes that cropped up in their lives during the freedom struggle. However, not much ground appears to have been covered in analysing the causes for the subordinate status of the Indian women. The author has explained the core causes for their cloistered roles, and their marginalisation, and has put forth some key factors that could empower them with an identity of their own and supply them with a viable escape route out of a state of entrapment. The basic reasons for subjugation of women in India are lack of education, denial of exposure to activities outside the homes, and an unreasonable rationalisation that such education or exposure will not improve their lot anyway. This has led to a self-fulfilling prophesy type of consequence, and left the women unchanged. This work is meant to be used as a reference book by serious researchers in women's studies, which has been included as an interdisciplinary subject in most of the Indian universities. Both informative and intimidating, the contents of this book are expected to start a progressive thought process in the minds of discerning readers."

"Women of India" by Otto Rothfield is a book about Indian women, their social life, and customs. Excerpt: "Many generations have passed and other races—Hunas and Gujjars and Mongols—have invaded India. And asceticism has squeezed the people in[6] its dry hand, and there has been war and bigotry and pestilence. Yet even now the teachings are not quite forgotten. Many a one there still is among the women of India, of whom it can with truth be said: "She is even as a golden lotus."
