Synopsis This triple volumes "Encyclopaedia of Women biography: India, Pakistan and Bangladesh" has been designed to meet the current requirement of biographical studies. This encyclopaedia is a comprehensive biographical information of about 2000 eminent women of Indian subcontinent from the earliest time to present day. Entries in this encyclopaedia are alphabetically arranged, strictly letter by letter. To guide readers from one entry to related biography elsewhere in the work, there is an extensive system of cross references. Encyclopaedia of Women Biography has been designed to become the primary reference not only for the scholars and students but also for general readers seeking to understand the background of current events. For the academic community, the encyclopaedia provides a breadth of coverage that will supplement and enhance research and useful in teaching. We trust, however, that the usefulness of the work will not be limited to scholars and students but common readers too.
