Gendered Publics by Hemjyoti Medhi PDF Summary

Book Description: This book offers a comprehensive appraisal of the relatively unexplored but highly impactful women’s association, the Assam Mahila Samiti which led one of the most remarkable women’s movements in colonial India. Central to the Assam Mahila Samiti story is its founding Secretary, the firebrand feminist Chandraprava Saikiani (1901-72) who, despite being an unwed mother and belonging to a lower caste, was a celebrated writer, a polemical columnist, and a successful publicist of two vernacular magazines in the 1940s. The book traverses these individual and collective journeys from the 1920s to the 1950s, exploring their negotiations with the complex terrain of the multi-ethnic Brahmaputra valley during the highly politicised period of the anti-colonial movement. It argues that theoretical understanding of the term public sphere may be enriched through an engagement with rare archival materials of these middle class women’s associations’ hand written minutes of meetings in a local language in early twentieth-century colonial India and posits that gender may not function merely as constitutive of the public, but how women’s collectives may shape, transform and orchestrate a veritable gendered public, resistant to both native patriarchy and sometimes to colonial authority.
