To reassure all that this history is being preserved - a copy of this book is in my Lace Library. It is about the history of these women, and contains statistics, trade practices, political overtones, explanations of the caste system, and that sort of thing. Though I read it cover-to-cover, I must report finding it rather dull. The book jacket describes it as being about women in the third world and relates it to international labour studies. Published in London in 1982. I'm afraid the poor lace-making women of India were like the poor lace-making peasant women in Europe - taken advantage of at every opportunity.
