This book uses communities of women as a framework for reading women's experience, rights and aspirations in Assam and NortheastIndia. It explores the varying roles played by such communities in the formation of society, the emergence of a women's public sphere and the representation of these communities in culture. The essays in the volume study a host of women's communities including the Mahila Samiti, Jain women's organisations, Lekhika Sanstha, lesbian communities, religious gatherings, scientific and environmental groups, women's collaborations through cookbooks, as well as nebulous communities of victims of persecution. They examine how women's communities are both empowering and transformational but may paradoxically also be regressive and static. Table of Contents: Part 1: Society: 1.
