Traditionally, higher education has been viewed as a male prerogative, especially in social milieus where patriarchy is the social norm. Women's emancipation is an issue which, inspite of decades of propagation is yet to yield significant results, and is as yet ambiguous in terms of the significance it has made, the numbers it has yielded for the efforts that have gone into.
Through a conscientious use of statistics and incisive analysis, the book looks into such issues as the number of women pursuing/employed within the realm of higher education, the economic and social dynamics of the process, and what more needs to be done in this arena. It also takes into account current trends and developments with the field, fostering a deeper understanding of the issue. |
