Sarmistha Dutta Gupta explores the interface between women's writing and politics and studies gender identities in their shifting interrelations with other categories of identity like class and religion. Focusing on what Bengali middle-class women wrote in leading literary and political journals of the 1920s to the 1950s, Probasi, Saogat, Jayashree, Mandira, Gharey-Bairey and in the daily newspaper of the Communist Party of India, Swadhinata, the author interrogates the fashioning of different kinds of selfhood of women through papers subscribing to different ideologies. Literary journals like the prestigious Probasi, founded and edited by Ramananda Chatterji from 1901, saw women as equal but different, needing to be protected from the rough practices of politics. They brought their refined femininity to the outside world while remaining contained within enlightened domesticity. Saogat, founded in 1918 by Mohammad Naseeruddin, made writers out of Muslim women within the confines of their homes. Interestingly, as women became more adept writers, they were shifted to a separate domain, Mahila Saogat, and later to the weekly Begum, while Saogat grappled with the momentous political changes in the 1940s. Three journals founded by women, Jayashree, Mandira and Gharey-Bairey, were committed to expanding the political consciousness of women. Leela Roy (Nag), an early nationalist and feminist, founded Jayashree in 1931 to bring like-minded women together against the empire. Later, when she brought the journal to serve the purposes of Subhas Chandra Bose's Forward Bloc, its character underwent a major change. Mandira was founded in 1938 by Kalyani Bliattachaijee and Kamala Mukherjee who had met while incarcerated as political prisoners and later joined the Congress Mahila Sangha. Increasingly dominated by Congress's political compulsions, it sacked its first editor, Kamala Mukherjee, when she became a Communist, and replaced its second, Kamala Dasgupta, to make room for a male appointee in 1948. Begun in 1948, Gharey-Bairey was a bold experiment; the prime founders were leading, Communists Manikuntala Sen and Kanak Mukherjee of the Mahila Atmaraksha Samity, who tried to keep it free of party control. It had considerable success until the divisions within the fracturing party finally brought on its demise. Swadhinata, founded in 1945 by the Communist Party of India, addressed the large majority of Bengali women for the first time. But 'masculine' and 'feminine' spheres of work were sustained and women's writing gradually got confined to women's pages. Exposing hitherto neglected aspects of cultural politics in Bengal through incisive analysis of largely uncharted material, the book makes structural connections between what women produced and the politics of the public as well as the private spheres.

The Refugee Woman examines the Partition of 1947 by engaging with the cultural imagination of the ‘refugee woman’ in West Bengal, particularly in three significant texts of the Partition of Bengal—Ritwik Ghatak’s film Meghe Dhaka Tara; and two novels, Jyotirmoyee Devi’s Epar Ganga, Opar Ganga and Sabitri Roy’s Swaralipi. It shows that the figure of the refugee woman, animated by the history of the political left and refugee movements, and shaped by powerful cultural narratives, can contest and reconstitute the very political imagination of ‘woman’ that emerged through the long history of dominant cultural nationalisms. The reading it offers elucidates some of the complexities of nationalist, communal, and communist gender-politics of a key period in post-independence Bengal.

This book chronicles travel writings of Bengali women in colonial India and explores the intersections of power, indigeneity, and the representations of the ‘self’ and the ‘other’ in these writings. It documents the transgressive histories of these women who stepped out to create emancipatory identities for themselves. The book brings together a selection of travelogues from various Bengali women and their journeys to the West, the Aryavarta, and Japan. These writings challenge stereotypes of the 'circumscribed native woman’ and explore the complex personal and socio-political histories of women in colonial India. Reading these from a feminist, postcolonial perspective, the volume highlights how these women from different castes, class and ages confront the changing realities of their lives in colonial India in the backdrop of the independence movement and the second world war. The author draws attention to the personal histories of these women, which informed their views on education, womanhood, marriage, female autonomy, family, and politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Engaging and insightful, this volume will be of interest to students and researchers of literature and history, gender and culture studies, and for general readers interested in women and travel writing.

The author argues that 'purdah' in early-twentieth-century Bengal meant far more than secluding women behind veils and walls; it entailed an all-encompassing ideology and code of conduct based on female modesty which pervaded women's lives. Accordingly, women's political experience and participation, even if its significance can be established, needs to be deconstructed and contextualized by looking at a wider range of discourses.
