The seven chapters proceed both historically and thematically, exploring abstract philosophical concepts about women, as well as concrete worldly conditions of the lives they lead, from the earliest stages of Hindu society to the present, marking through time the evolving religious roles and social status of women.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Hindu women have consistently found in their faith resources for claiming selfhood both within their faith and in society. Within the home, women are the keepers of the family’s religious rites. Outside the home, they worship through poetry, painting, dance, and music. Like their peers around the world, modern Hindu women have fought and worked together to claim decisive roles in shaping their own lives, while maintaining their faith and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003ci\u003eWomen in the Hindu World \u003c\/i\u003eexplores and explains the place of women in Hinduism, and the impact of Hinduism on women’s roles in society.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eEXPERT ANALYSIS: \u003c\/b\u003eAuthor Mandakranta Bose is Professor Emerita and former Director of the Centre for India and South Asia Research at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, where she also has taught courses in religious and gender studies.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eSUPPLEMENTAL STUDY: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen in the Hindu World\u003c\/i\u003e provides a breadth of educational knowledge as a supplement to both academic coursework and the independent study of Hinduism.
