Overview:

The notion of the threshold, indicating the restricted periphery of the womans place in family and society, was firmly embedded in the psyche of nineteenth-century women in western India. Yet some remarkable and articulate women (who are the focus of this book) transgressed patriarchal boundaries--crossing thresholds, literally and metaphorically--to make their mark in the public sphere. These Indian women created the first ripple feminism of the region. Nineteenth-century men also inbabit the book--social reformers and those who helped these women, as well as conservatives who opposed both the reformers and the progressive women. The central objective of Professor Kosambis book is to interrogate official social history--which posits strong male reformers and passive women recipients--as well as retrieve and assess womens own pioneering contribution to their proto-feminist efforts. The Introduction presents a conceptual framework of public/private spheres, attempts to retrieve womens subjectivity through their published narratives, and discusses questions of representation and voice. The ten essays that follow span a variety of topics--the politics of iconizing individual women, womens complex relationships to their homes and their bodies, womens exposure to education and nationalism, the nature of conjugality and consent, ideas of motherhood and widowhood. Uniting all these themes is the effort to amplify womens voices and reconstruct their experiential worlds. The book straddles the areas of Gender Studies, History, and Asian Studies while underscoring the resonance of these womens lives with those of other women across South Asia and the West.
