Description based on print version record.
Constrained by traditions restricting their movements and speech, the Maithil women of Nepal and India have long explored individual and collective life experiences by sharing stories with one another. Coralynn V. Davis examines how these storytellers weave together their own life experiences - the hardships and the pleasures - with age-old themes.
