This volume highlights the ways in which women writers negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state. It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg, Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few, and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations between the margins and the centre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women's studies, South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bharti Arora\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815396171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815396178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Bharti Arora","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086939861247,"sku":"9780815396178","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ff6ebcc-37be-4d0b-a410-2c5d6e9bc37f.jpg?v=1769097406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-gender-writing-nation-bharti-arora-9780815396178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
