Seeing Like A Feminist
The book focuses on questions arising from the gendered nature of power. It discusses feminist politics and feminist ways of seeing the operation of gendered modes of power. It takes up many interrelated themes and argues that feminism is about the gradual transformation of the social field in a decisive manner so that old markers shift forever. It examines sexual harassment charges against international figures, the ban on the veil in France, the attempt to impose skirts on international women badminton players, queer politics, domestic servants’ unions and a host of other matters. It draws on feminist scholarship and politics to throw light on feminist debates and experiences globally.
