"The notion of the threshold, indicating the restricted periphery of the 'woman's place' in family and society, was firmly embedded in the psyche of nineteenth century women is Western India. Yet some remarkable and articulate women (who are the focus of this book) 'transgressed' patriarchal boundaries--crossing thresholds, literally and metaphorically -- to make their mark in the public sphere. These Indian women created the 'first ripple feminism' of the region. Nineteenth-century men also inhabit the book social reformers and those who helped these women, as well as conservatives who opposed both the reformers and the progressive women. The central objective of professor Kosambi's book is to interrogate official social history--which posits strong male reformers and passive women's recipients--as well as retrieve and assess women's own pioneering contribution to their proto-feminist efforts. The introduction presents a conceptual framework of public/private spheres, attempts to retrieve women's subjectivity through their published narratives, and discusses questions of representation and 'voice'. The ten essays that follow span a variety of topics--the politics of iconizing individual women, women's complex relationships to their homes and their bodies, women's exposure to education and nationalism, the nature of conjugality and 'consent', ideas of motherhood and widowhood. Uniting all these themes is the effort to amplify women's voices and reconstruct their experiential worlds. The book straddles the areas gender studies, history and Asian studies while underscoring the resonance of these women's lives with those of other women across South Asia and the West." (jacket). …

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. An important feminist thinker, writer, and activist, Prema Kantak's contributions to Indian feminist thought and the nationalist movement have been largely neglected in scholarly studies. Kantak, a one-time resident of Gandhi's ashram, forged a special, life-long bond with the Mahatma, and was hugely influenced by his thought and persona. She rose to prominence as a feminist writer with strong, radical convictions and also as a forceful proponent of Gandhian political and social ideals in Maharashtra.This volume brings together rare Gandhi-Kantak correspondence that provides many new insights not only into this unique relationship and Kantak's life and radical thought, but also into the complexities of Gandhi's political and social ideas-especially his understanding of the role of women in the nationalist movement. Their correspondence, marked by loving devotion on the one hand and encouragement and nurturing on the other, is replete not only with an unusual mix of Kantak's naivete, hero-worship, and self-doubt, but also reveals interesting facts about a much-deliberated and oft-researched topic-Gandhi's relationship with his women followers.Together with original translations of Kantak's writings and a comprehensive Introduction that explores various dimensions of this deeply-personal relationship, their divergent thinking, as well as the political climate in Maharashtra during the nationalist period, this volume is a timely addition to the body of work on neglected figures in Indian feminist history as well the Gandhi corpus. Bringing together rare personal correspondence between Mahatma Gandhi and Prema Kantak, original translations of Kantak's writings, and an introduction that highlights various facets of their association, this volume provides unique insights into a truly remarkable relationship.
