A propos de cet article

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.…
