{"product_id":"feminist-vision-or-treason-against-men","title":"FEMINIST VISION OR TREASON AGAINST MEN?","description":"\u003cp\u003eKashibai Kanitkar (1861-1948), was the first major woman writer in Marathi. She was largely self-taught and keenly conscious of the benefits of womens education. She promoted this and other emancipatory measures for women through her prolific and wide-ranging writings-both fiction and non-fiction-deploying them as a mode of social reform discourse. The present book includes translations of most of Kashibais works: both her novels (in abridged form); a review of Pandita Ramabais American travelogue; long extracts from Kashibais episodic autobiographical narrative as well as from her biography of Indias first woman doctor, Dr. Anandibai Joshee; and an article tracing the history of womens education in Maharashtra. A comprehensive introduction by Meera Kosambi contextualizes these texts and situates Kashibai within her social and literary milieu. Kashibai, Professor Kosambi shows, was a pioneering writer who created a new paradigm in Marathi literature. It was she who enabled Maharashtras rich tradition of womens writings by foundational contributions which engendered Marathi literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877402042566,"sku":"DADAX8178243423","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81cQdW_AO_L.jpg?v=1779652106","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/feminist-vision-or-treason-against-men","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
