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.
