Coming of Age in Nineteenth-Century India: The Girl-Child and the Art of Playfulness
Lal, Ruby (Emory University, Atlanta)
In this eloquent history, Ruby Lal traces the coming of age of nineteenth-century Indian women. While in the north Indian patriarchal environment, women's lives were dominated by domestic duties, Lal reveals that women in the early nineteenth century experienced greater freedoms, playfulness and creativity than their counterparts in the more restricted colonial world at the end of the century.
