Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. From the rear cover: "Several books have been written about the position of women in India's patriarchal society. This collection of twelve narratives, however, focuses not so much on women's subservient position vis-a-vis-men, but on women's relations with each other. With the authors locating their personal struggles within those of three generations of women in their families, these narratives span a period of over 100 years, and intersect both the private and public domains." 5½ x 8½ inches, 275 pages. Mostly in very good condition, with the following exceptions: long gift inscription on half-title page: "Dear Bill & Renee - I can't tell you how much it meant to me that you came & visited us when my dad and mom could really enjoy meeting you. I'll be there soon, to bother you." Last 75 pages & rear cover have slight outward bend to bottom outside corner (no crease to pages or cover, just slightly bent outwards as if stored with some obstruction pressing against pages). Also note that the cover is not the same as that depicted in the "stock photo" used in other ABE listings.…

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. The trauma of the partition in Eastern India is discussed explicitly in a way that has not happened before. Drawing upon interviews with women who were uprooted from old East Bengal in 1947, on diaries, memoirs and creative literature, the editors lift the 'veil of silence' that has surrounded partition. The lack of overt public discourse has meant that people outside Bengal have tended to believe that the impact was very much less on the people in the eastern region. In truth, the sufferings, the loss of life and livelihoods and of shelter were very real but of a different nature from the fast-moving horror of the Punjab. It was more like an oozing wound that seemed not to heal than a one-time severance of a limb. Seminar, Feb 2002, devoted itself to an in-depth discussion of the eastern partition, inviting Bagchi and Dasgupta to edit the issue. Many contributions have been taken from this pioneering work and many more have been added to focus on what women experienced, felt, and witnessed. Weaving together the voices of many women and incisive analysis, the book provides an invaluable discussion on displacement, rape, loss and why women pay the price. It thus traces the strenuous triumph attained in the crucible of suffering.…

From the cover: The woman's body is the foundation on which gender inequality is built, established and legitimized, and understanding it in different contexts, settings and situations is therefore the primary objective of this book. All the essays, in different ways, examine gender inequalities which are revealed in the complex interplay between society, gender and body. Subjects covered include Indian feminist movements, Western views on prostitution, the notion of space in relation to female identity, a socio-historical study of a scandal and women, sexuality and marriage. This book is important because the papers in it directly address the problem of gender identity as constituted by the woman's body in relation to family, community and society in everyday life.
