Straddling the domains of anthropology and gender studies, Gender and Space explores how the female body is constituted in space, refocusing on the body as central to an understanding of gender agency. Drawing on fieldwork, Seemanthini Niranjana weaves together conceptual and ethnographic narratives to elaborate a theory of gender and space. The book includes accounts of: the domains and activities of women; cultural perceptions and experiences of the female body; gender and the ritual realm; The author also makes suggestions for formulating a ground for female agency within a body-space matrix.
