Women of 
the Andes 
Patriarchy and Social Change 
in Two Peruvian Towns 
The place is Peru. The characters are the 
women of two highland communities. 
The book is a study of their lives and of 
the cultural implications of gender 
difference. It identifies those attitudes 
which serve to perpetuate the 
subordination of women — and those 
points at which women assent to their 
own repression. A volume in our Women 
and Culture Series.

The University of 
many years ago, nothing seemed to 
have changed at the ashram. Visitors of 
all kinds are equally welcome, even the 
merely curious. For those not willing to 
accept the full discipline of the inner 
ashram there are separate residences, 
and as before, they are always occu- 
pied. The atmosphere is still like that of 
a holiday camp. At Sri Aurobindo ash- 
ram, peer pressure compels all to de- 
vote time and energy each day to 
physical exercise, either sports or calis- 
thenics, as well as pursuing some 
course of academic study and dedicat- 
ing some hours to group and private 
meditation. As with some other ash- 
rams, many Indians (regardless of reli- 
gion) come here for their vacations and 
speak of their one- or two-week stay as 
a holiday, and nothing more. The place, 
the atmosphere, the communal activi- 
ties make them “feel good.” 
Although the ashram itself has not 
changed that much in thirty years, it 
stimulated a change in the local com- 
munity that, at first, promised to be 
spectacular. In the belief that “there 
should be somewhere on earth a place 
. . . where all human beings of goodwill 
. . . could live freely as citizens of the 
world and obey one single authority, 
that of the supreme truth,” the ashram 
founded a separate community, Auro- 
ville, or City of Dawn, a few miles up 
the coast. The concept received the en- 
thusiastic support of UNESCO, which 
encouraged its member states to partic- 
ipate in “the development of Auroville 
as an international cultural township.” 
Volunteers quickly came forward, in- 
cluding a European architect who drew 
up an ambitious plan, and a throng of 
untrained but dedicated youth willing 
to contribute their labor. In February 
of 1968 the foundation stone was laid. 
Young people came from 23 Indian 
states and from 121 countries. All 
brought a handful of soil from their 
home country, and placed it in a marble 
lotus urn in the new amphitheater, 
dedicating their young lives to a dream 
come true — a paradise on Earth. On 
completion the City of Dawn was to 
house some 50,000 international citi- 
zens, a vast human experiment in the 
conscious evolution of a new and better 
way of life. 
Near the central amphitheater would 
tower an extraordinary shrine, the Ma- 
tri Mandir, or Mother Temple. This 
vast golden sphere, raised up into the 
sky on four pillars, was to contain 
twelve inner and four outer gardens 
and a huge meditation hall, open to the 
sky. Work on this and other projects
