In its focus on traditional male power in rural India, gender studies has frequently overlooked the disempowerment of men through the combined effects of women's subversion of power, elite terrorism and a depressed economy. This study of women in a mainly Hindu southern Maharashtran village fills that gap and furthers our understanding of the complexities women face in maintaining the balance between traditional expectations and current realities.
