LILAVATI'S DAUGHTERS:
THE WOMEN SCIENTISTS OF MOTHERINDIA
(UNITED STATES OF MOTHERINDIA)
is a collection of (auto)biographical essays of about 100 women scientists who have worked and are working in India. The name is drawn from The Lilavati, a twelfth century treatise in which the mathematician Bhaskaracharya addresses a number of problems to his daughter, Lilavati. Although legend has it that Lilavati never married, her intellectual legacy lives on in the form of her daughters - the women scientists of India.
