Please join us for a conversation on feminist publishing and the changing landscape of gender/sexuality politics in contemporary India with one of the foremost publishers of feminist writing in India today.
Ritu Menon is co-founder of Kali for Women, India’s first and oldest feminist press, and founder of Women Unlimited, an associate of Kali for Women. She is co-author of Borders & Boundaries: Women in India’s Partition (Kali for Women, 1998).
Her edited book No Woman’s Land: Women from Pakistan, India & Bangladesh Write about the Partition of India, was published by Women Unlimited in 2004. Also recently published are Educating Muslim Girls: A Comparison of Five Indian Cities (Women Unlimited, 2005) and Unequal Citizens: A Study of Muslim Women in India (2004), both co-authored with Zoya Hasan, and In a Minority: Essays on Muslim Women in India, co-edited with Zoya Hasan (2005).
The event will be staged as an informal conversation about contemporary politics, including the recent triple talaq judgment, Hindu nationalist violence, and new challenges before the contemporary feminist movement in South Asia.
