Is TV good for Indian women?

Get this:

We also find increases in female school enrollment and decreases in fertility (primarily via increased birth spacing).The effects are large, equivalent in some cases to about five years of education in the cross section, and move gender attitudes of individuals in rural areas much closer to those in urban areas.
Pulling out of poverty, educating women ends up promoting fewer children.
