Descripción
Sumario:Voices of Privilege and Sacrifice from Women Volunteers in India: I Can Change uses data collected from educated, urban, middle and upper-class women at the forefront of women's empowerment movements as volunteers and activists in NGOs in India, who consider themselves sometimes feminist and sometimes not. It sheds light on how these women in a fast-changing global economy negotiate their daily lives amid pressures of tradition, and if they are able to transition from a traditional patriarchal society to an egalitarian democratic civil society.
