Produktbeschreibung

Despite the plethora of provisions and advancement made, women living in modern India are confronted with issues of discrimination, subjugation, oppression and denials. Crimes against women today have assumed the proportion of an epidemic. It is pertinent that we analyze the social realities from woman s vantage point . The anthology reflects various aspects of women s lives, the discriminatory practices, subjugation, oppressions they are subjected to and their struggles against the patriarchal terrorism.. It is strongly felt that understanding women s lives, experiences of oppression , from a feminist standpoint produces more complete and less distorted knowledge than that produced by men. This is what Women s Studies is all about. The book also seeks to address the Muslim women s issues, Sharia and the Islamic Feminism. Shahida, has tried to provide the epistemology of the oppressed as it gives a different view on hegemonic reality. The anthology could serve as reference material for all the students of gender studies.
