Description of work:

The primary focus of my research is the emergence of a Muslim 
women's movement in South Asia from the late nineteenth century. Within 
this framework, I have a particular interest in education, social and 
political organizations, the culture of travel, missionaries and personal 
narratives. My prime regional focus is the princely state of Bhopal in 
central India.
