A : Gender and Land Rights in South Asia Agarwal,Bina creator text xx New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press ,1994 9999 1st Edition monographic und 570 p. ; 23 cm. 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. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including field research, the author addresses the reason for this imbalance, and asks how the barriers to ownership can be overcome. The book offers original insights into the current theoretical and policy debates on land reform and women's status. / Bina Agarwal Gender Studies Land Rights Right of property South Asia Rural women South Asia 323.460959 AGA 9780521429269 260608 20261006122231.0
