The Indian woman’s lifestyle is not a binary of "oppressed" versus "liberated." It is a negotiation. She has learned to be a master strategist. She works late, but brings home dessert. She argues for her career, but calls her mother-in-law "Maa-ji." She wears jeans, but ties a dupatta (scarf) around her neck to pacify the neighbors.
