| Summary, etc | The essays in this study examine gender issues in South Asian literature, which have gained ground in this post-feminist era. Despite half a century of debate and rebellion, there is still an unevenness that disrupts smooth sailing in the area of literary criticism/gender studies. In many cultures, women still have not entirely come into their own. As well, oftentimes there's still a stigma attached to being born as female. What is the nature of the pressures and obstacles? How and where do the hurdles lie? In this book - where the space is the literary and the socio-political; and the time frame is contemporary - the analysis is topical. <br/>Contents include: <br/>How to Read - Or Rather, How Not to Read the Writing of Women <br/>* Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Indian English Women's Poetry <br/>* Appropriating the Male Space: A Study of Krishna Sobti's Mitro Marjani<br/> * The Pen that Defies the Sword: Taslima Nasreen's All About Women <br/>* Re-defining Boundaries: Thinking Gender Roles in Dopdi, Chauth ka Joda, and Pinjar <br/>* Women's Experience of Partition: A Study of Jyotirmoyee Devi's The River Churning<br/> * Community Narratives as a Source of Empowerment: Bama's Sangati <br/>* Centering the Marginality: The Poetry of Melanie Silgardo<br/> * The Spilt-Self in the Poetry of Kamala Das <br/>* Psycho-Dynamics of Women in the Postmodern Literature of the East and West<br/> * Gender and Social Stratification in Contemporary India <br/>* Bridging the Gap between Urban and Rural Women with Special Reference to Jharkhand <br/>* Changing Patterns of Man-Woman Relationship: An Interview with Professor Yogendra Singh <br/>* and more.<br/> |
