"A well-intended effort in putting every aspect of gender studies in the right context. It comprehensively discusses the issues and challenges faced by women folk the world over. Dividing the book as per the major themes is a perfect design of systematizing the issues and then discussing them holistically and giving some solutions. A handsome effort to bring ideas and modes of analysis to the attention of not just readers but the ruling establishments that will enable the achievement of true empowerment of women and helps in igniting fresh thinking towards the policy framing on these weighty subjects."
