DESCRIPTION
Woman worldwide does most of the unpaid sustenance work at home, besides the paid work outside. Rural women is the most affected by this type of gender inequality however, the urban Indian woman is in a much better situation today Being both educationally and economically privileged she can be self-sufficient. But because she is often not able to find a suitable partner, she is either living single or has to marry into a family, where she all too often becomes victim of domestic violence. The author feels that urban Indian woman today can and should defy the patriarchal structures and live an autonomous life. This book shows how an alternative lifestyle, a so-called organic agricultural lifestyle can provide her an alternative, in which she can live a dignified life, receive immense love and respect from the rural folk as well as contribute towards the much neglected rural development of Indian.
