The Awakening of Indian Women is a classic work of anti-imperial
feminist theory. Kamaladevi Chattophadyay offers a clear vision of
India liberated from the yoke of British colonial rule. Awakening
presents a dynamic portrait of the Indian feminist movement in the
early 20th century, written by a vibrant cast of activists at the
centre of anti-colonial and feminist agitations.
Sati--the burning of a widow on her husband's funeral pyre--has for
centuries been one of the few ways in which women of India could
achieve renown, respect, and even deification. This eye-opening
work exposes what this still persistent ritual (officially outlawed
in 1829) reveals about this society and about the women who choose
or are forced to become sati. 8-page insert.
