Antharjanam: Memoirs of a Namboodiri Woman (Oxford India Paperbacks)

Autobiography of a leader of the women's right movement in Kerala, India. The first full-length memoirs of a Namboodiri woman, the work reveals little-known facets of a Namboodiri woman's life lived behind closed doors. Told without a trace of self-pity, the work throws interesting sidelights on the social history of a largely insular community.
