About the Book: Rudra, an enterprising, well-connected, successful businessman with a name and stature, steps in love with an established lawyer who is not able to acknowledge Rudra's love despite being able to fathom the depth of his emotions. Speaking about Omana, he enters into a zone of emotions and tells how a woman, with her mere existence, can change the lives of people around. The story revolves around Omana who is intelligent, virtuous, witty, beautiful and ambitious. The book, in every chapter, has stories of women who took life head-on, challenged their limits and evolved rather than getting succumbed to self-pity and blame game when they were tested by time. The story progresses as a conversation between Rudra and the most precious woman of his life, Omana, who presents her perspectives about life, people, situations and what can an individual learn. Her keen observation, empathy, compassion and care do not come in the way of her integrity and assertiveness. They both discuss about the value and meaning of life vis-à-vis the pressures and hypocrisy that every individual faces while living in this society. Rudra, deeply in love with Omana, kept finding opportunities to be with her. Sharing lessons of life, worth learning for every individual who seeks LIBERATION through the channel of FREE WILL, concluded his story by saying that “A Lady whose aura, beauty, dignity, pride, enthusiasm, knowledge and confidence combine together and make her Omana – The Complete Woman”.

During the latter half of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth, colonial expansion prompted increasing numbers of genteel women to establish their family homes in far-flung corners of the world. This work explores ways in which the women’s values, as expressed through their personal and household possessions, specifically their dress, living rooms, gardens and food, were instrumental in constructing various forms of genteel society in alien settings. Lawrence examines the transfer and adaptation of British female gentility in various locations across the British Empire, including Africa, New Zealand and India. In so doing, she offers a revised reading of the behaviour, motivations and practices of female elites, thereby calling into doubt the oft-stated notion that such women were a constraining element in new societies.

This book highlights accounts of women workers to capture the domains of gendered mobility, which challenges the exalted status conferred on women in the Kerala model of development. It contests and deconstructs the development discourse which considers women's work mobility as an indicator of autonomy and agency using Capability Approach. The concept of 'transformational mobility' and its measurement introduced in the book advances the understanding of mobility, autonomy and agency and the intersectionality in the context of gender and work. Through an in-depth exploration of lived experiences of informal women workers the author illustrates how patriarchal structures are shaped and reinforced by work places, markets and the state. The central question is - can we steer development policies to facilitate collective capabilities for women where informal work arrangements are becoming the norm?
