Covering India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal, Rethinking New
Womanhood effectively introduces a 'new' wave of gender research
from South Asia that resonates with feminist debates around the
world. The volume conceptualises 'new womanhood' as a complex,
heterogeneous and intersectional identity. By deconstructing
classification systems and highlighting women's everyday ongoing
negotiations with boundaries of social categories, the book
reconfigures the concept of 'new woman' as a symbolic identity
denoting 'modern' femininity at the intersection of gender, class,
culture, sexuality and religion in South Asia. The collection maps
new sites and expressions on women and gender studies around
nationhood, women's rights, transnational feminist solidarity, 'new
girlhoods ', aesthetic and sexualised labour, respectability and
'modernity', LGBT discourses, domestic violence and 'new'
feminisms. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars
across a range of disciplines including gender studies, sociology,
education, media and cultural studies, literature, anthropology,
history, development studies, postcolonial studies and South Asian
studies.
