It is developed from empirical research with in-depth understanding of ground situations of freedom, functioning and obstacles of women councilors in India. The central idea of this book revolves around two central research questions: 1. How are womens positions and spaces changing due to their political participation in the urban local governance? and 2. What are the major hurdles they face in their day to day lives barring their emancipation? The main strength of the book lies in the in-depth grounded research in four small cities (Darjiling, Balurghat, Raniganj and Hugli-Chinsurah) using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. This volume can be considered as a reference book for Gender Studies, Womens Studies, Urban Governance, Women and Policy Research, Gender Development Studies. 000962693 650_0 $$aWomen$$xPolitical activity$$zIndia$$zWest Bengal. 000962693 650_0 $$aWomen$$zIndia$$zWest Bengal$$xSocial conditions. 000962693 650_0 $$aPolitical participation$$xSex differences$$zIndia$$zWest Bengal. 000962693 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000962693 7001_ $$aSamanta, Gopa. 000962693 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030606627$$z9783030606626$$w(OCoLC)1193111329 000962693 830_0 $$aLocal and Urban Governance. 000962693 852__ $$bebk 000962693 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-60663-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000962693 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:962693$$pGLOBAL_SET 000962693 980__ $$aEBOOK 000962693 980__ $$aBIB 000962693 982__ $$aEbook 000962693 983__ $$aOnline 000962693 994__ $$a92$$bISE
