Product Description

In the nineteenth century, spurred by colonial criticism of Indian social practices, Indian male intellectuals embarked on a project of social reform, at the heart of which was improving the condition of women. Education was central to their efforts, and as print cultures flourished across the subcontinent, the reformers launched Telugu-language journals and magazines that focused exclusively on women readers. From the first journals—Sathihitha Bodhini and Telugu Zenana—to the later Hindu Sundary, Andhra Mahila and others, they became a site for new discourses on the ‘woman’s question’. A comprehensive history of Telugu women’s journals from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, this book highlights women’s own engagement with the social reform movement.
