Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Walls Within Walls provides a rich description of sociocultural issues affecting the lives of working women residents of Lahore's Walled City. Anita Weiss, an established scholar long associated with gender development issues in Pakistan, reveals here the interplay between Islamic religious ideals and traditionally embedded orientations, and how women respond to practical economic needs. The new introduction sets the present context, revealing how women continue to struggle
to have their productive contributions recognised, and how they strive to make their voices heard in Pakistan.
