- Description
- This book describes the experience of the white woman in colonial India in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It examines missionary and memsahibs' colonial writings probing their construction of Indian women of different classes and regions. Also examined are delineations of European female health issues in male authored colonial medical handbooks, which underline the misogyny undergirding this discourse. Giving voice to the Indian woman, this book also scrutinises the fiction of the first generation of western-educated Indian women who wrote in English, exploring their construction of white women and their negotiations with colonial modernities.

- Description
- This book is an examination of gender in South Asia and its intersection with other social variables like caste and class. There is an appraisal of what feminism means in the Indian context and the cross-cultural construction of patriarchy that varies in its manifestations across time and space. The readers are taken on a journey that shows how gender can only be understood in its social and historical context and as a dynamic and performative concept that emerges out of both collective imaginations and social realities.

- Description
- Analysis of marriage from historical, social, cultural, psychological and legal perspectives. Some authors argue that marriage continues to retain its prime importance in reproducing the social order and its claim to be the only legitimate structure of the family, rather than one among others. Other authors stress the impact of changes wrought by globalization, information technology and the increasing visibility of queer life forms and practices.The collection is divided into four parts, moving from a historical perspective to present-day concerns: Part I, ‘Historicizing Marriage: Marriages Are Made in Scriptures’: Part II, ‘Contextualizing Marriage: Class, Caste, Masculinity and Violence’: Part III, ‘Representing Marriage: Sex, Conjugality and Videotapes’: and Part IV, ‘Recasting Marriage: Singlehood, Coupledom and Intimate Others’.

- Description
- Cornelia Sorabji was a truly ambitious and remarkable woman. She was intellectually daring and physically courageous As India’s first female lawyer, she was original and often outspoken in her views , for example, in her criticism of Gandhi and her surprising friendship with Katherine Mayo. Cornelia Sorabji resists easy classification, either as a feminist or as an imperialist. An Indian whose loyalty to the British Raj never wavered. A passionate advocate of women’s rights whose own career was nearly compromised through her inappropriate relationship with a married man. An independent and free-thinking intellectual who depended for work on patronage from an élite circle. Cornelia Sorabji's long and fulfilling life was anything but simple. How did she reconcile these apparent contradictions? How did she succeed in opening doors to aspects of Indian and British life which remain closed to so many, even today -- and where did she run into difficulties?
