May You Be the Mother of a Hundred Sons: A Journey Among the Women of India Paperback - 1991
by Elisabeth Bumiller
Acclaimed journalist Elisabeth Bumiller presents a revealing look at the women of India. From "bride burnings" made to look like accidents, sterilization camps, and arranged marriages, to vital women struggling to succeed, Bumiller "zeroes in on women and ends up illuminating a whole world".--Newsweek.
From the jacket flap
"The most stimulating and thought-provoking book on India in a long time..Bumiller has made India new and immediate again."
THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD
In a chronicle rich in diversity, detail, and empathy, Elisabeth Bumiller illuminates the many women's lives she shared--from wealthy sophisticates in New Delhi, to villagers in the dusty northern plains, to movie stars in Bombay, intellectuals in Calcutta, and health workers in the south--and the contradictions she encountered, during her three and a half years in India as a reporter for THE WASHINGTON POST. In their fascinating, and often tragic stories, Bumiller found a strength even in powerlessness, and a universality that raises questions for women around the world.
