May You Be the Mother of a Hundred Sons: A Journey Among the Women of India by Elisabeth Bumiller

2.0

Primitive. Peasant. Backward. These are the words the author uses in just one chapter to describe India's women. If you are willing to filter out the author's considerable bias and cultural blind spots, the information in this book is good. But given how much the author inserts herself into the text, I'm not sure it's worth it.
