 Dalit Women is a passionate and nuanced book that is quite beautifully written: it is a real pleasure to read.

Professor Stuart Corbridge, LSE

 An excellent, fascinating and vivid account of the day-to-day lives of women in modernizing rural Dalit families in South India.

 Clarinda Still’s vivid and accessible case study of a ‘traditionally’ marginalized population provides a compelling analysis of the interplay between gender, caste and class differentiation. Anybody interested in the way in which these fundamental axes of social inequality intersect with each other in contemporary India should read it.
