About This Book
This book examines various gender-based power politics in Indian society. It studies gender intersectionality and feminism as a socio-political philosophy by understanding how societal power structures are deeply rooted and supported by our patriarchal societies.
A comprehensive and interdisciplinary study on women's issues in India, the volume:
- Adopts an intersectional feminist lens to critically analyse identity formation, gender socialisation, gender stereotyping and discrimination
- Discusses various socialist & Marxist perspectives of feminism, including liberal, radical, postmodern feminism, ecofeminism, and dalit feminism
- Examines the concept and origin of patriarchy, alongside theories on masculinity while focusing heterogeneous male members and the hegemonic masculinity
- Investigates issues related to violence against gender and adequate implementation of law and rehabilitation policies in India
- Sheds light on women's labour and participation in the organised, service and unorganised sectors of work within India
- Highlights on women's movement in India during pre-independence and postindependence period. While discussing contemporary women's movement, it takes serious cognisance of the environmental challenges and women's participation.
