Dear colleagues,

I want to thank you again for gathering all these wonderful references.
Those of you who know me, would have guessed that I was thinking especially of woman scientists (who can be also writers of course).

Still this will be useful no doubt to my colleague!

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

Dear colleagues,

I have been asked by a non indologist colleague for references on women scholars in ancient and medieval India. Do you know of an article or a book which would deal directly with this subject?

I have noted so far for him:

Witzel, Michael. 2009. Female Rishis and philosophers in the
Veda? Journal of South Asia Women Studies 11(1).
And

Mary McGee, Ritual Rights The Gender Implications of Adhikdra in L. Patton ed Jewels of Authority, OUP 2002. 32-50 (esp. p.42)

but this is very meager and vedic...

I can't help but feel that there is a very obvious reference that I must be lacking

thanking you in advance for your help,


Agathe
