Hardcover. Condition: Fine. These writings translated for the first time from the Bengali are by women who were amongst the earliest to receive a modern education and become members of a reading and writing public Women wrote on a wide variety of concerns in many journals that had come into being because of the tremendous growth of vernacular print culture These were often edited by women including some of the writers in the anthology Bharat Mahila Bharati o Balak Antahpur Mahila and Bharati to mention just a few The writers contributions helped build the image of the new educated woman self-confident opinionated transgressiveWho were these writers They came as expected from elite backgrounds most were from families that belonged to the Brahmo Samaj such as Bamasundari Devi Saratkumari Chaudhurani Hemantakumari Chaudhuri Kumudini Mitra Kamini Roy and Swarnakumari Devi and her two daughters Hiranmoyee Devi and Sarala Devi members of the family of Debendranath Tagore of Jorasanko Some were Hindus like Kailashbasini Devi Girindramohini Dasi Krishnabhabini Das and Anindita Devi Two Muslim writers of this period have also been included the remarkably erudite and pioneering Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and the lesser known Khairunnissa Khatun a social reformer in her own right No information could be found on Jagadishwari Devi or Kusumkumari Devi the former debunked the notion that tradition demanded the Hindu woman abjure wearing shoes and that if they did they were westernized and the latter argued for consensual marriage well ahead of her timeThe articles cover a whole range of social issues from womens social powerlessness which gets intertwined with the powerlessness of the colonized to the need to participate in the growing nationalist protest against the first Partition of Bengal 1905 and the ensuing Swadeshi movement The early writings speak of the home as the proper domain for women where women should strive for good domestic management The later pieces written when the fight for education is no longer an issue persuade women to enter the public domain Thus there is much interest in what would be a suitable dress to wear outside how to help women gain some financial independence how to rouse their patriotism the wish to earn a living and so on Most interesting perhaps is the manner in which perceptions of patriarchy change As these writers make their way into the elite literary world and elite politics perhaps they also discover a new role for themselves in the construction of the nation 180 pp.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Signs (Chinha), written in 1946, was Manik Bandyopadhyay's fifteenth novel, and is something of a hidden gem of Bengali literature. The novel is set in the mass uprisings that Calcutta witnessed in protest against the trial and sentencing of Captain Rashid Ali of the Indian National Army. These outbursts of popular anger were initiated by students, and involved large sections of the working people. The author weaves together a number of episodes, meetings and partings happening simultaneously at different locations through a kind of narrative 'montage'. The narration represents this revolutionary moment witnessed through the eyes of myriads of people who make it, whether by participating in it or by being caught up in it, by remaining on the margin or by trying to use it to their own purpose, or even by resisting it. It is a rare attempt to catch the internal dynamics of the action by focussing on the fast-changing relationships among its speaking, thinking, acting human agents, when the singular motive force of the objective situation is manifested in the multiplicity of responses. Signs was such a departure from the writing of the time that the author noted, 'It is written in a new technique. I do not know whether it should be called a novel.' Manik Bandyopadhyay failed to interest his publisher into issuing a second print during his lifetime. It was published again after his death. This is the first English translation of this modernist masterpiece, introduced and annotated by scholar and activist Malini Bhattacharya.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Around the middle of the nineteenth century, a social category was born in Bengal, along with a new word that named it: Lekhika or the female author.'Tanika Sarkar, Foreword These writings, translated for the first time from Bengali, form a path-breaking collection of issues that aimed at the empowerment of women and thus remain alive today. The women were the first to receive a 'modern' education and became members of the reading and writing public that hitherto was entirely male. The writers came from urban elite backgrounds, most from Brahmo Samaj families, many comparatively unknown today like Bamasundari Devi or Kumudini Mitra as well as more famous ones from the Tagore familySwarnakumari Devi and her daughters. Some were Hindus like Kailashbasini Devi and Krishnabhabini Das, among others. There are also two Muslim women writersthe brilliant Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and the social reformer Khairunnissa Khatun. The articles cover a whole range of social issues: social powerlessness, domestic management, the Swadeshi movement, what to wear outside the house when leaving seclusion, and financial independence. Writing for the new journals that came up as vernacular print media was expanding. Making their way into the literary world, the women opened up new roles for themselves and their successors.
