      abstract = {This book refutes the rising general perception that the  gender gap in India is decreasing. The argument is  strengthened by calculating the gender gap index at two  time periods and providing quantitative information along  with information pertaining to numerous case studies.  Selecting relevant welfare indicators and focusing on the  neglected dimensions of gender equity, Bearing the Brunt:  Impact of Rural Distress on Women discusses the gendered  impact of rural economic distress with respect to  employment, agricultural production, natural resource  management and food security.},
