[INDOLOGY] References on women scholars in ancient and medieval India

[Raffaele Torella]

Dear Colleagues,

a significant contribution to this theme is made by a very recent book:

Lidia Sudyka, Vijayanagara: a forgotten empire of poetesses. Part I: The voice of Gaṅgadevī. Ksiegarnia Akademicka, Krakow 2013.

Regards,
Raffaele Torella
