Reviews “A well-intended effort in putting every aspect of gender studies in the right context. It comprehensively discusses the issues and challenges faced by women folk the world over. Dividing the book as per the major themes is a perfect design of systematizing the issues and then discussing them holistically and giving some solutions. A handsome effort to bring ideas and modes of analysis to the attention of not just readers but the ruling establishments that will enable the achievement of true empowerment of women and helps in igniting fresh thinking towards the policy framing on these weighty subjects.” —From Foreword by Dr. Nidhi Mishra, Joint Commissioner, Deputy Director–STAR, Department of Finance, Government of Rajasthan, India The interdisciplinary field of women’s and gender studies was created in response to the urgent need to confront problems that occur in daily life because of the gendered nature of politics, which gives rise to social and economic inequality. The field explores the complex dynamics of gender, power, and social justice. The pervasiveness of gender inequality emphasizes the need for raising public awareness of the negative effects of prejudice based on gender identities. This new book, Thriving Concepts in Women’s and Gender Studies: Ways of Perceiving, encompasses a range of important concepts that contribute to our understanding of gender dynamics, power relations, and the pursuit of social justice. It aims to comprehend gender roles in both historical and modern society, while also look at how larger structural influences, such as nation-building globalization, economic advancements, and the legal system, shape the lives of specific women.
