%X This brief study centres on how some young women in two teacher education programmes in Delhi, India are negotiating their sense of gender identity in a very patriarchal society. It provides first-hand descriptions of what it means to be coming-of-age in this transitional society and offers an analysis of the tensions resulting from the conflicting expectations, restrictions, and opportunities for young women in modern-day India. The author positions the struggles of young women in India as not separate, but part of a universal struggle for human rights.<p /><p>Language: en</p>
