Making the 'Woman' - Discourses of Gender in 18th-19th century India

The book examines the representation of women, their agency and subjectivity, and gender relations in 18th and 19th-century India. The essays in the volume interrogate notions and discourses of ‘women’ and ‘gender’ during the period, historically shaped by multiple and even competing actors, practices and institutions. They highlight the ‘making of the woman’ across a wide spectrum of subject areas, regions and roles, and attempt to understand the contradictions and differences in social experiences and identity formations of women. The volume also deals with prevalent notions of masculinity and femininity, normative and non-conformist expressions of gender and sexual identity, and epistemological concerns of gender, especially in its intersectional interplay with other axes of caste, class, race, region, and empire. Presenting unique understandings of our gendered pasts, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of history, gender studies and South Asian studies.
