Feminism and Gender Discourse: A Revisioning

 
Neeru Tandon (Author)
Synopsis

Feminism and Gender Discourse: A Revisioning aims to showcase various discussions related to gender discourse, be it through fiction, drama, or poetry. Feminism in India is a set of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for Indian women. It is the pursuit of women's rights within the society in India. Like their feminist counterparts all over the world, feminists in India seek gender equality--the right to equal wage for same work, the right to equal access to health and education, and equal political rights. Indian feminists also have fought against culture-specific issues within India's patriarchal society, such as inheritance laws and the practice of widow immolation, known as Sati. Using a feminist lens, this book examines the relationship between feminism and gender discourse by various authors. Let us see how these writers have voiced the concern of women's hopes and aspirations, and their fulfilments or frustrations. The aim of this book is to bring those voices to the forefront and examine their stories in the context of representing gender issues.
