This book examines Indian women's perception of their work and family lives at the intersection of postmodernity and tradition through the lenses of society, socialization, and agency. In face-to-face interviews with seventy-seven women across socio-economic statuses, occupations, generations, castes, and class categories, Suchitra Shenoy-Packer demonstrates how India’s dutiful daughters continue to make personal and professional choices that privilege families over careers while constructing personally meaningful career discourses.
