Trade Review
"Menon unpacks the practical difficulties, the ideological contradictions, and the political impasses that have accompanied the Indian women's movement's attempts to deal with questions of violence, abortion, rape, and parliamentary representation. The result is a very important and provocative piece of scholarship that will help feminists everywhere think through the complexities of gender, citizenship, and rights in today's world."--Ania Loomba, Catherine Bryson Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania
"Nivedita Menon is among the most interesting intellectuals writing in the Indian academy today. This collection of her essays has been long awaited, and the final product is thought-provoking, energetic, and a pleasure to read. A work of such a high order of intelligence and theoretical sophistication is a rare thing." --Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, Professorial Fellow, Wolfson College and Reader in English, University of Oxford
