  Bengali Christian Women: An Empirical Study by Dr Tumpa Mukherjee is a much-needed sociological examination of the condition of Bengali Christian women in the twentieth century. Specializing in the mores and manners of the women belonging to the Protestant denomination within the larger Christian community, she looks at their location, aspirations, educational qualifications, employment opportunities, marital status, degree of acculturation with the mainstream Hindu Bengali society and their contribution within and beyond the community.

  Tracing the evolution of the mentioned demographic category, Dr Mukherjee privileges a particular focus on Women’s Christian College, Kolkata as a pathbreaker in the dissemination of education since 1945, nurturing generations of students towards a better future. She emphasizes the role of successive Principals and teachers of the institution as a microcosmic instance of the larger spread of education in the country, as also the nodal nature of the incubating impetus provided by the college.

  Dr Mukherjee breaks new ground with her percipient insights into the circumstances, influences and possibilities of Bengali Christian women as they strive to play a meaningful role in challenging situations. While the size of the sample is small the research methodology followed is rigorous and the overall enquiry meticulous in its attention to detail, balance and objectivity.
