In this pamphlet, Ramusack examines the history of women in south and southeast Asia, looking beyond the exotic stereotypes—such as the self-sacrificing Hindu widows who performed sati, the delicate Javanese dancers, and occasionally the manipulative political actors—in an effort to further shape our understanding of the lived experience of Asian women.
Barbara N. Ramusack is Charles Phelps Taft Professor of History at the University of Cincinnati and has an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Three Fulbright Fellowships and grants from the American Institute of Indian Studies, the Charles Phelps Taft Fund, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Smithsonian Institution have supported her research in India and Britain. She has published numerous articles and essays on the princely states of India and on women in India during the late colonial period. Her more recent publications are Women in Asia: Restoring Women to History (1999), coauthored with Sharon Sievers, and The Princes of India for The New Cambridge History of India (2003).
