Book Synopsis
The inequalities that structure relationships in Delhi's urban slums have left the health of women living there chronically vulnerable. The author argues that women rely on moral strategies to confront the poverty and unstable relationships that threaten their well-being. She breaks new ground by delineating the ways in which women set boundaries.
