Voices of Privilege and Sacrifice from Women Volunteers in India - Mitra Aditi
New updated version now available! It is an ethnographic study that looks closely at women from the upper and middle classes who work with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that help empower women from all classes of society. This book is the outcome of a study conducted in the eastern city of Kolkata in India in the mid-2000s.
