Editorial Reviews

Review

‘This study is conceptually sophisticated, descriptively “thick”, methodologically self-reflexive, and, on top of that, engagingly written. It is highly recommended to anthropologists of reproduction, social demographers, and india specialists.’Population and Development Review
‘Saavala’s work is also important for some of its inadvertent glimpses into the lives of rural women’Alaka Malwade Basu
