Landscape and Gender delves into the intricacies of contested and mediated 'spaces' through a gendered lens. Bringing together a range of subjectsarchaeology, history, cultural geography, and urban studiesthe chapters here examine the connections between landscape and gender within a spatio-temporal framework unique to India. The volume explores spaces that are regulated and subordinated by agencies, and which reinforce gender gaps in quotidian landscapes. The theoretical discourse that underpins the volume aids in comprehending the subtleties of genderscapes. Further, it throws light on relationship dynamics in varying spatial contexts, including publicprivate and ruralurban, and makes us cognizant of the structures of disparities and discrimination that often emerge and evolve from the closest units, such as families and peer groups. This volume weaves together the diverse 'landscapes' of India through ontological and epistemological orientations to explore how gendered norms, roles, and structures have remained constant, in one way or another, across time.
