The book Revisits urban governance through a gendered lens. It is a pioneer work in this area using the narrative method. In-depth interviews of fifty women corporators provide a unique perspective of politics, coming as it does from their standpoints. This understanding therefore broadens the concept of politics and adds dimensions to the specific debates on 'proxy women', 'diversity in women leadership', 'women's reservation', 'feminizing politics' and to the generic discussion on 'gender and politics' and 'women in governance', 'women's reservation in parliament and state assemblies'.
