Discover the intricate evolution of women’s labour in India’s dynamic economy. This compelling study investigates how women and girl children have become dominant forces in urban domestic service across India, particularly in post-partition West Bengal, supplanting migrant menservants. Author Deepita Chakravarty masterfully employs economic models and historical analysis to explore the critical connections between this gendered shift, the rise of the urban professional class post-liberalization, and the plight of vulnerable domestic workers. An indispensable resource for scholars of Indian gender studies, labour economics, development studies, and anyone keen on understanding India’s socio-economic transformations.
