The analysis has been conducted in the framework of the socio-economic and politico-cultural ambience that has characterized the state in recent decades. The contributors highlight both areas of strength and vulnerability and clearly demonstrate that the status of women cannot be conceived as monolithic or static-it has many facets and is in a state of constant flux. The analysis of macro data is supported by revealing micro studies based on field surveys and an examination of cultural trends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003eThis work is a unique study of three decades that have witnessed by far the most apparent changes in the visibility, status and social relevance of women in the country, and this book promises to be an important reference point. The result of several years of compilation and analysis, the study looks at several parameters that may assess status: demography, health and nutrition, education, economic, political and cultural participation, violence against women and the safeguards in the eyes of law, and finally, the lives of tribal women. It is replete with tables and one cannot help but be impressed with the compilation, Perhaps one of the most significant chapters here would be the one on policy recommendations, This book takes an honest look at the scope for improvement with objective pointers through the chapters, These pointers…are heartening indicators of an earnest and dispassionate effort.\u003cbr\u003e-www.hindustantimes.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe product of painstaking research by a team of eminent academics, the book is a study of the way women’s lives evolved, delving into virtually every sphere of human activity imaginable-from economic empowerment to health to legal issues.\u003cbr\u003e-The Telegraph\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFOREWORD BY VINA MAZUMDAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA.
