Focusing on the unique political personas of women within Shiv Sena, this book reveals how they navigate and assert their authority in a male-dominated landscape. Through over a decade of ethnographic research in urban Maharashtra, it highlights the experiences of women political workers, termed "dashing ladies," who utilize inventive and bold strategies. Tarini Bedi develops a feminist theory of brokerage politics and introduces the concept of 'political matronage,' offering a fresh perspective on women's roles in political movements.
