The Book ‘Scientific Daughters of India’ is a beautifully sketched life journey of 21 women scientists of India and their contribution to the field of Science. These scientists belong to fields of cell biology, neuroscience, mathematics, statistics, botany, space sciences, geology, genetic engineering and many more. Mrs. Neeta Mohite, the author of the book, teaches Physics at Dr. D.Y.Patil ACS College, Pune. She has always inspired her students by the life stories of various scientists and has now compiled a book serving this very purpose. The book was originally written in Marathi and has been translated to English by Dr. Harkirat Kaur who believes that such books should get wide readership, across India and the world to let everyone know of such phenomenal women scientists, who create ripples in their respective fields but sadly remain unknown to the population in general. The book is also beneficial to students appearing for competitive examinations. It strives to achieve the goal of motivating innumerable girls and boys to delve into the unfathomable mysteries of the universe and solve them.

Isabel, born into the British Raj, and Asha, a young Hindu girl, both consider India their home. Through mischance and accident their stories intersect and circumstances will bring them from the bustling city of Delhi to the shores of the Andaman Islands, from glittering colonial parties to the squalor and desperation of a notorious prison; and into the lives of men on opposing sides of the fight for self-government.As the shadow of the Second World War falls across India, Isabel, caught up in growing political violence, has to make impossible choices - fighting for her love for India, for the man she yearns for, and for her childhood Indian friend, in the face of loyalty to her own country.
This book takes us along on a search for the feminine face of God.

In her role as devoted wife, the Hindu goddess Parvati is the divine embodiment of viraha, the agony of separation from one's beloved, a form of love that is also intense suffering. These contradictory emotions reflect the overlapping dissolutions of love, family, and mental health explored by Sarah Pinto in this visceral ethnography. Daughters of Parvati centers on the lives of women in different settings of psychiatric care in northern India, particularly the contrasting environments of a private mental health clinic and a wing of a government hospital. Through an anthropological consideration of modern medicine in a nonwestern setting, Pinto challenges the dominant framework for addressing crises such as long-term involuntary commitment, poor treatment in homes, scarcity of licensed practitioners, heavy use of pharmaceuticals, and the ways psychiatry may reproduce constraining social conditions. Inflected by the author's own experience of separation and single motherhood during her fieldwork, Daughters of Parvati urges us to think about the ways women bear the consequences of the vulnerabilities of love and family in their minds, bodies, and social worlds.
Meredith Ray shows that women were at the vanguard of empirical culture during the Scientific Revolution. They experimented with medicine and alchemy at home and in court, debated cosmological discoveries in salons and academies, and in their writings used their knowledge of natural philosophy to argue for women’s intellectual equality to men.
