Description: Women and the Romance of the Word by Sreemati Mukherjee Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Around the middle of the 19th century, woman emerges as a new sign disrupting the cultural economy of Bengal and reversing and realigning conventional notions and expectations of womans agency and power. The colonial interface would have been important because a need for womens overall development was felt amongst the male intelligentsia of the period and some of the key texts that circulated at the beginning of the 19th century were Mary Wollstonecrafts Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), Thomas Paines Rights of Man (1791), James Mills History of British India (1817), Richard Carliles Every Womans Book (1826) and WilliamThompsons Appeal of One Half the Human Race, Women, against the Pretensions of the Other Half, Men (1825). The inaugural moment of this outstanding efflorescence of womens writing in polemics, travel writing,autobiography and journal articles could be said to begin with Kailashbasini Devis Hindu Mahilaganer Heenabastha (The Woeful Plight of Hindu Women, 1863), in autobiographies like Rassundari Devis Amar Jiban (My Life, 1876) and Binodini Dasis Amar Katha (My Words, 1913) and in personalised travelogues like Krishnabhabini Dass Englande Banga Mahila (A Bengali Woman in England, 1885). As Kailashbasini, Rassundari, Krishnabhabini and Binodini write, the romance of the word, the romance of learning and self-realisation is enacted. A new dramatic script emerges as Bengali women become the scriptwriters of their own histories. Author Biography Sreemati Mukherjee is a Professor in the Department of Performing Arts at Presidency University. Kolkata.
