It examines the roles of wives, daughters, and widows and discusses women's participation in important religious and domestic practices.
Jatindra Bimal Chaudhuri was a professor of Sanskrit at City College and a former lecturer at the University of Calcutta and SOAS, London. He wrote several works on Sanskrit literature, Indian intellectual history, and women's contributions to Sanskrit traditions.
The book explores how women participated in Vedic rituals and religious practices in ancient India.
