DESCRIPTION
This path-breaking study on women in the Andhra region of India during the colonial period seeks to dispel popular misconceptions and stereotypes regarding their status, as well as to seriously engage with academic debates on caste, traditions, and values. It has been observed that the influence of European modernist values in towns brought about considerable change in the way of love and sex as seen and practised. The spread of education through private schools, the emergence of towns and the agrarian compulsions in the village also played a crucial role.
