The way these cornerstones of daily life are played out in the alternative arenas of tourism and illness highlight pervasive gender disparities in the expression of sexuality.

Initially reluctant, Amar finally agrees to Nishas bizarre plan and, with the latters grooming, successfully debuts as a model, Varsha, earning a handsome appearance fee as well. Son of a poor village priest, Amar is dominated by her elder sisters who dont appreciate their one and only brother catwalking in female attire. His sisters, however, have their own agenda in which Amar has to play a supportive role.

Amar doesnt enjoy Vinods advances but has to tolerate him because he loves Nisha.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians and literary critics have long understood the crucial significance of the family to the nineteenth-century middle-class sensibility, but almost all critical analyses to date have concentrated on the "vertical" pole of the familial axis - the parent-child relationship - and very little on the "horizontal" pole - the sibling bond. This book looks beyond these analyses to show that at the core of nineteenth-century domestic ideology is the figure of the sister."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de l'introduction : "The search for women's overall ar fundamental position long ago ar far wawy is an outcome of the confrontation between social darwinist anthropology and the feminist and socialist movements over sexism here and now. ... Women have been fighting for equl rights for well over one hundred years. The center of the struggle lies in changing institutionalized pattterns of behaviors and allocations of social roles. All behavior is informed and shaped by ideas, by way of seeing the world, as well as by standards for what is right and wrong, moral and immoral. A marxist and feminist anthropology can affrim the reality of equality in other times and places and increase our understanding of how to obtain such a social order for ourselves. This book is an attempt to develop such a way of seeing and of informing our actions."
