A Comparison Between Women and Men: Tarabai Shinde and the critique of gender relations in colonial India

by Rosalind O'Hanlon, Tarabai Shinde

First published in 1882, Tarabai Shinde's A Comparison between Women and Men is an invaluable first-hand source for the way colonial rule shaped Indian women's and gender history. Beautifully translated here by Rosalind O'Hanlon, her text is joined by a substantial interpretive essay linking
it to broader issues in the Indian women's movement.
