Vajood Aurat Ka : Stri Vimarsh Pratinidhi Paath

0/5 ( ratings)

Gloria Steinem, the world's most distinguished feminist writer, has spent some of her early years in India. During the time when Gloria was in India, she was influenced by the Gandhian idea that change should always grow from the bottom to the top like a tree. Subsequently, from her many decades of work for feminist movements in the U.S. and around the world, she learned that violence and domination have been normalized under the guise of the false division of human beings as doers and agents, rulers and rulers, 'men' and 'women'. In 'Wajood Woman Ka', Gloria Steinem and activist Ruchira Gupta have teamed up to create a select collection of some of Gloria's unprecedented essays. These are the essays that, since their writing, reached around the world, unmindful of boundaries and laid the foundations for a large part of modern feminist ideas. In these pages, Gloria has exposed the truth that racial and race and class-based discriminations have taken root through control over the female body—Gloria also explains how men and women are fighting for this control. She brilliantly analyzes Adolf Hitler's craze for masculinity and finds the gendered idea of violence emerging, taking root in his personality. She has explained the difference between erotica literature and pornography and clarified that this difference arises because of the inequality governing the relationship between the two sexes. Apart from her poignant experience of a few days spent as a playboy bunny, the book also includes an hitherto unpublished essay 'The Third Way' written by Gloria on human trafficking and the flesh trade. This book has been written in such a way that even the complex debates present in it are easily understood by the reader due to the touch of ease. In this collection you will find new ideas, anger, seriousness and laughter and a friend, everything.
