The World of Muslim Women in Colonial Bengal, 1876-1939
Author: S N Amin
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9789004106420
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
This highly interesting book studies the cultural context of modernisation of middle-class Muslim women in late 19th and 20th century Bengal. Its frames of reference are the Bengal 'Awakening', the Reform Movements - Brahmo/Hindu and Muslim - and the Women's Question as articulated in material and ideological terms throughout the period. Tracing the emergence of the modern Muslim gentlewomen, the bhadramahila, starting in 1876 when Nawab Faizunnesa Chaudhurani published her first book and ending with the foundation in 1939 of The Lady Brabourne College, the book gives an excellent analysis of the rise of a Muslim woman's public sphere and broadens our knowledge of Bengali social history in the colonial period.

Beyond Purdah?
Author: Dagmar Engels
Publisher: School of Oriental & African Studies University of London
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The author argues that 'purdah' in early-twentieth-century Bengal meant far more than secluding women behind veils and walls; it entailed an all-encompassing ideology and code of conduct based on female modesty which pervaded women's lives. Accordingly, women's political experience and participation, even if its significance can be established, needs to be deconstructed and contextualized by looking at a wider range of discourses.

The Refugee Woman
Author: Paulomi Chakraborty
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199095396
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
The Refugee Woman examines the Partition of 1947 by engaging with the cultural imagination of the ‘refugee woman’ in West Bengal, particularly in three significant texts of the Partition of Bengal—Ritwik Ghatak’s film Meghe Dhaka Tara; and two novels, Jyotirmoyee Devi’s Epar Ganga, Opar Ganga and Sabitri Roy’s Swaralipi. It shows that the figure of the refugee woman, animated by the history of the political left and refugee movements, and shaped by powerful cultural narratives, can contest and reconstitute the very political imagination of ‘woman’ that emerged through the long history of dominant cultural nationalisms. The reading it offers elucidates some of the complexities of nationalist, communal, and communist gender-politics of a key period in post-independence Bengal.
