Revolutionary Desires examines the lives and subjectivities of
militant-nationalist and communist women in India from the late
1920s, shortly after the communist movement took root, to the
1960s, when it fractured. This close study demonstrates how India's
revolutionary women shaped a new female - and in some cases
feminist - political subject in the twentieth century, in
collaboration and contestation with Indian nationalist,
liberal-feminist, and European left-wing models of womenhood.
Through a wide range of writings by, and about, revolutionary and
communist women, including memoirs, autobiographies, novels, party
documents, and interviews, Ania Loomba traces the experiences of
these women, showing how they were constrained by, but also how
they questioned, the gendered norms of Indian political culture. A
collection of carefully restored photographs is dispersed
throughout the book, helping to evoke the texture of these women's
political experiences, both public and private. Revolutionary
Desires is an original and important intervention into a neglected
area of leftist and feminist politics in India by a major voice in
feminist studies.
