ISBN: 8175251344
Issued in conjunction with a series of 1999-2000 exhibitions "borne out of two areas of related enquiry: the representation of the goddess and the corresponding status of women in India. While some studies have addressed the history of issues of gender, representation and patronage, few have visually documented the history of their passage in politics, religion and popular culture." (preface) With essays by Raghu Rai, Jyotindra Jain, Madhu Khanna, and Gayatri Sinha, and many photographic examples. Of interest to those in photography, women's studies, and Asian studies. Nicely done.
