This book examines the varied influences and accomplishments of the
Indian Ladies' Magazine, the first Indian magazine established and
edited by an Indian woman-Kamala Satthianadhan-in English, written
by women, for women. Influences include Victorian, Edwardian, and
Modern literature and culture as well as traditional Indian
literature and culture during the late colonial, pre-independence
period. More than a literary journal, this publication also
addressed social reforms, from "ladies' philanthropy" to "women's
mission to women"; the emergence of Indian "identity politics" in
response to the nationalist and independence movements; the Indian
Woman Question in the context of female education debates and
shifting concepts of "womanliness"; cultural exchanges recorded by
Indian travelers to America; and the emergence of Indian
nationalism, between World Wars I and II, leading to independence.
This publication recorded and participated in the most pivotal
moment in modern Indian history and did so by appealing to both the
conservative and progressive socio-political urges marking the era.
