Feminism and contemporary Indian women's writing
Jackson, Elizabeth.

Feminism and contemporary Indian women's writing[electronic resource] /Elizabeth Jackson. - Basingstoke, [U.K.] ;Palgrave Macmillan,c2010. - ix, 200 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 179-197) and index.

Women, cultural identity and social class -- Marriage and sexuality -- Motherhood and other work -- Women's role in maintaining and/or resisting patriarchy -- Form and narrative strategy.

Elizabeth Jackson conducts a developmental and comparative study of feminist concerns expressed through the novels of the four best-known and most prolific Indian female authors writing in English during the latter half of the twentieth century: Kamala Markandaya, Nayantara Sahgal, Anita Desai, and Shashi Deshpande. The introduction situates their work within its Indian historical and political context, and each of the five chapters explores an area of particular relevance to their fictional writing: Women, Cultural Identity and Social Class; Marriage and Sexuality; Motherhood and OtherWork; Women's Role in Maintaining and/or Resisting Patriarchy; and Form and Narrative Strategy. Eachchapter is contextualised with a brief survey of Indian and western feminist approaches to the particular area under consideration. Feminism and Contemporary Indian Women's Writing explores areas ofcommonality and divergencebetween Indian and 'western' feminisms, highlighting the limits of both approaches to suggest future directions for feminism itself.
