Hence in order to understand the concept of Women ‗studies we need to get familiar with the term Feminism, and its different forms which gave birth to lot of developments in the study of women. In this unit we would try to understand in detail the impact of feminism in this process. According to Maggie Humm and Rebecca Walker, the history of feminism can be divided into three waves. Feminism has altered predominant perspectives in a wide range of areas within Western society, ranging from culture to law. Feminist activists have campaigned for women's legal rights (rights of contract, property rights, voting rights); for women's right to bodily integrity and autonomy, for abortion rights, and for reproductive rights (including access to contraception and quality prenatal care); for protection of women and girls from domestic violence, sexual harassment and rape;for workplace rights, including maternity leave and equal pay; against misogyny; and against other forms of gender-specific discrimination against women.

  • Brave Sisters
    Brave Sisters A novel & A Study of Ambivalence and Change: Indian Woman-Warrior or Victim? Meira Chand MA, Edith Cowan University 2009 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities (English and Cultural Studies) 2013 ii ABSTRACT This thesis is comprised of a novel entitled Brave Sisters and an accompanying essay entitled, A Study of Ambivalence and Change: Indian Woman – Warrior or Victim? Both novel and essay are linked by an exploration of the issues of feminism and the impact of colonialism and the nationalist uprisings against British rule in late colonial India. Brave Sisters This is a historical novel set in the late 1930s and 1940s against a backdrop of India and South East Asia. It explores the life of an illiterate Indian woman, Sita, condemned early to the completely disempowered state of child widow. She is rescued from this situation through the intervention of a humanitarian female doctor and enabled to join her brother who has migrated to Singapore. He arranges for Sita’s marriage there to an Indian friend, a scholarly man who has become embroiled in the Indian freedom struggle. Sita’s life is soon overwhelmed by the events of the Second World War and the Japanese occupation of Singapore. During this time she encounters the charismatic revolutionary Indian leader, Subash Chandra Bose, and his struggle for Indian independence from the British. Bose commands the Japanese-backed Indian National Army and Sita joins the Rani of Jhansi Regiment, a women’s fighting force initiated by Bose within the army.

In 1947, the country commenced its long march to overcome the colonial legacy of economic underdevelopment, gross poverty, near-total illiteracy, wide prevalence of diseases, and stark social inequality and injustice. Achieving independence was only the first stop, the first break—the end of colonial political control: centuries of backwardness was now to be overcome, the promises of the freedom struggle to be fulfilled, and people‘s hopes to be met. The task of nation-building was taken up by the people and leaders with a certain elan and determination and with confidence in their capacity to succeed. When Nehru assumed office as the first Prime Minister of India, there were a myriad of issues lying in front of him, vying for his attention. Nehru knew that it was highly important that he prioritized things. For him, ―First things must come first and the first thing is the security and stability of India.‖ In the words of eminent political scientist W.H Morris- Jones, the imminent task was to ―hold things together, to ensure survival, to get accustomed to the feel of being in the water, to see to it that the vessels keep afloat‖.

  • Non-Violent Struggles of the Twentieth Century
    Foreword Narayan Desai Chancellor, Gujarat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad I am happy to write a foreword for the set of papers written for an international workshop held in New Delhi on the theme of "Non-violent struggles of the Twentieth Century and their lessons for the Twenty-first Century" in the form of a well edited book, I venture to add a few lines of my own as a humble contribution. The twentieth century is known to be the most violent century witnessed in human history. It had two dreadful world wars; devastation of two cities by the use of nuclear bombs and hundreds of other wars in between World Wars and following them, leaving tens of millions dead and injured. The civilian victims outnumbered the military soldiers in these wars. The development of technology made our planet easier for communications and also more vulnerable. More and more people were exploited by fewer and fewer persons, dividing the world into two unequal halves of the favoured and the marginalized. Not only were human beings killed, but mother earth and its surrounding atmosphere were ruined. Nature, and its flora and fauna were treated mercilessly by men. The tragic division between the rulers and the ruled was sharper than ever before. The minorities and the poor were more unfortunate victims in this tragedy, and the women and the children among them the most severely affected. While science and technology advanced rapidly, the schism between the privileged and the deprived became wider and deeper, leaving several sections of society utterly destitute. The structural violence of the twentieth century was often more cold-bloodedly ruinous than overt violence.

  • Archive: Biographical Essays Women Politicians of Constituent Assembly Ammu Swaminathan (1894-1978)
    ARCHIVE: BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS WOMEN POLITICIANS OF CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY AMMU SWAMINATHAN (1894-1978) EARLY LIFE: Ammukutty, as she, Ammu Swaminathan, was fondly called, was born in the Anakkara Vadakkath family to Govinda Menon and Anakkara Vadakath Ammuamman, in Palghat (Palakkad) district of Kerala in 1894. Her father was a minor local official earning what was only sufficient for a hand to mouth existence for her whole family. Both of Ammu's parents belonged to the Nair caste, and Ammu was the youngest of their numerous children. However, despite their family’s financial struggles, Govinda Menon and Anakkara focussed on getting all their children educated, including their daughters. Hence, Ammu was not deprived of her right to study, though she received an informal education at home. However, things started worsening when Ammu lost her father, the only breadwinner of their large household, at a very young age. She saw her mother struggling to run their expenses. Consequently, Ammu could not receive the quality education which she was entitled to, for some time. Nevertheless, Ammu was a spirited girl. At the age of 13 when faced with the prospect of marriage, she laid down her own conditions before agreeing to it. Her husband, Subbarama Swaminathan was a close associate of her father P. Govinda Menon and had expressed his desire to marry one of his daughters upon completion of his higher education in England. By that time, Menon had passed away and all his daughters except for the 13-year-old Ammu were married. So, when Swaminathan, a man twenty years her senior, proposed marriage to the young Ammu, he was confronted with a strange situation.

  • Chapter: 2 Voices of Pioneer Indian Women Memoirists: an Outline
    CHAPTER: 2 VOICES OF PIONEER INDIAN WOMEN MEMOIRISTS: AN OUTLINE Who to wed? Who to revere? Couldn’t comprehend the male fear Why to bow? How to conduct? At each corner, obstacles erupt. How to write? When to procreate? What for the world is most appropriate? I ask and get no replies…………………… Moments come, century flies But the quest of female never dies!!!! (Monika Choudhry’s Poem Quest) 2.1 Introduction: Jai Shankar Prassad, the pioneer literary personality of Hindi literature is known for strong portrayals of women. A popular verse from one of his most widely read poems Kamyani (Part: II ‘Lajja’) reads, “नारी! तुम केवल श्र饍धा हो वव�वास-रजत-नग पगतल मᴂ। पीयूष-स्रोत-सी बहा करो जीवन के सुԂदर समतल मᴂ।” Nari! Tum keval shraddha ho, vishwas-rajal-nag-pal-tal mein. Piyush strot si baha karo, Jivan ki sundar samtal mein. [Oh woman! You are honour personified, under the silver mountain of faith flow you, like a river of ambrosia, on this beautiful earth.] The woman is a beautiful creation of God on this beautiful earth. She is a living embodiment of affection, love, compassion, tenderness and so on. In Indian culture and literature, the aesthetic beauty of women represented extraordinarily.
