| 520 | |a In this comprehensive analysis of gender and property throughout South Asia, Bina Agarwal argues that the most important economic factor affecting women is the gender gap in command over property. In rural South Asia, few women own land and even fewer control it.

The book offers original insights into the current theoretical and policy debates on land reform and women's status. | ||
