• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Brinks examines the work of Toru Dutt, Krupabai Satthianadhan, Pandita Ramabai, Cornelia Sorabji and Sarojini Naidu. These women are deeply rooted and connected to both South Asian and Western cultures and found large audiences in their public roles as writers, reformers, activists and cultural translators. Informed by extensive archival work, Brinks's close readings of their literary writings suggest new ways of understanding a range of issues central to feminist postcolonial studies.

Rezensionen

'This book goes beyond describing the writers as just converted Hindu women ... a detailed, more diverse account into the lives of Indian women reformers but also highlight[s] the complexities they (must have) negotiated across time, space, culture and religious barriers.' FWSA blog
