This book explores multiple facets of femininity for marriage in
India. Using language as an entry point, it looks at how and why
media representations of gender identities are constructed the way
they are. It works with a unique synthesis of second-wave feminist
discourse and empirical linguistic research to look at how the
social institution of marriage becomes the site of interaction
between language, ideology, psyche and culture. This volume also
brings together the personal histories and views of women who
discuss how media, modernity and social norms shape their ideas
about marriage and selfhood. Deconstructing perceptions of
femininity in contemporary India, the book will be of great
interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, gender studies,
linguistics, media and cultural studies and psychoanalysis.
