Every day of all individuals subsumed under the everydays of society. The mundane, the repetitive individual's everyday is challenged when it becomes the starting point studying the unorganised every day. Looking at the repetitiveness character of everyday, this article questions the involvement of the forces of domination in women's lives. Taking a feminist standpoint this article deals with the reverse, 'transposing knowing into objective forms in which the situated subject and her actual experiences and location are discarded'. A concept developed by Dorothy Smith, 'relations of ruling' is used in this article to understand how the everyday repetitive struggles of women against violence can be studied, what methodological position, which methods of studying can be considered appropriate.

This article attempts to explore the relationship between gender role, stereotyped gender expressions and demands on a field researcher in a cross-cultural setting. This idea of the conflicting demands in a cross-cultural field setting came as an outcome of a research on Anglo-Indian women living in Kolkata. This is a reflection of the first-hand experiences of the author while doing her research for her doctoral thesis. Here, the author is the representative of the 'other' to the researched. The author seeks to find how her experiences of ethnographic research are of importance to the study of subjects situated differently from her own. It attempts to locate her experiences within the larger field of ethnographic experiences of cross-cultural researchers and show how it penetrates deeper into her awareness of herself and her selfhood.
