“The book by Patel and Mondel is treasure of knowledge for anyone who wishes to learn and comprehend ‘women and work’, whether in totality or with respect to any specific segment/domain. It is an eclectic assemblage inclusive of theoretical underpinnings and voices from the rural as well as urban grassroots. A must read for academicians, researchers, students, practitioners from wide disciplines to expand their knowledge and attain holistic understanding on the subject!” (Meenu Anand, The Urban World, Vol. 15 (2), 2022)
