Blurring Boundaries, Carving an Identity: Women Writers in Colonial India is a compilation of critical essays on some women writers of Colonial India. The range is eclectic and the different essays have treated a variety of aspects of the women writers of the period. This book is an attempt to throw light on issues like, how women’s writings started, how women’s literature negotiated with the demands of the time, how these writers dealt with the pressing issues of the times, how women writers, writing in different genres, reflected on their role in taking the women’s cause ahead. It seeks to understand how colonial Indian women writing negotiated such issues as self/identity/subjectivity, body, sexuality and desire, resistance and reaction, spatiality and materiality, representation, writing and language. Finally these writings reflect how the boundaries surrounding their existence were blurred and a new identity was carved for the women of colonial India.
