      This text examines critically the usefulness of the "household" concept within the historically and culturally diverse context of Indonesia. It explores in detail the position of women within and beyond domestic arrangements. There is a lacuna on how women deal with two major forces which shape and define their world - local kinship traditions, and the universalizing ideology of the Indonesian regime, which both provide prescriptions and prohibitions concerning family, marriage and womanhood. How women themselves consciously or unconsciously challenge or accommodate such forces is the main issue of the book. Topics covered include dominant ideologies and policies regarding households and women's roles, the impact of spatial mobility on domestic arrangements and power relations, and the need to break through the dichotomies between workplace and home, production and reproduction, and public and private.
