Summary:	Womenâ#x80;#x99;s Agency and Social Change: Assam and Beyond focuses on varied oppression, power relations and ideologies embedded in the complex yet interdependent social, political, economic and legal structures, and womenâ#x80;#x99;s subordination therein. British intervention, 1826â#x80;#x93;1947, by itself did not impact the agency aspect on women directly, but the emergence of new forces and factors sowed the seeds of womenâ#x80;#x99;s agency to impact social change, even if minimal. In the post-Independence period, British colonial legacy perpetuated the subordination of women through caste and class hierarchy at seve.
