Gendered Violence in Public Spaces: Women’s Narratives of Travel
in Neoliberal India examines the vulnerability of women in public
spaces in India through the analysis of artistic representations
ranging from emerging digital media, commercial Hindi films and
graphic narratives to narratives of real and lived experiences of
women. In doing so, this volume initiates a scholarly discussion on
the myriad challenges posed by male-dominated public spaces for the
female traveler, demanding women’s rights as free and equal
citizens who can fearlessly inhabit and explore public spaces and
roads. Making the problem of women’s vulnerability in public
spaces their chief focus, the contributing scholars highlight how
ambitious and steadfast women who choose to contest the perils of
the road are censured by manifold forms of emotional, mental,
epistemic, and above all sexual violence. Gendered Violence in
Public Spaces articulates the challenges associated with women’s
mobility to inaugurate cultural and scholarly debates that may help
India re-examine its public spaces against misogyny and gendered
violence.
