Employment opportunities have opened up and are constantly expanding for women, but this book interrogates whether their working status is breaking gender stereotypes or reaffirming them. It argues that whether women are working in offices or from home, contributing to the IT sector or labouring as petty producers, they are unable to break out of the gendered codes that place them at the lower rungs of the occupational ladder. More importantly, the hierarchical social order, comprising caste, class and ethnic identities, seems to echo in the gendered structure of the labour market as well. This volume studies the intertwining of work with embedded patriarchal notions of women's places in designated spheres, and the overt and covert processes of resistance that women offer in defining new roles and old ones anew  aEnglish  aDiscriminationvWomen EmployeesvUrbanzIndia  aRaju, Saraswati  aJatrana, Santosh   2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2019-03-25eOPi25/03/2019l0o331.40954 WOM-p50154r2019-08-22 00:00:00w2019-03-25yBK
