Soft cover. Condition: As New. Vasanth Kannabiran, noted feminist, activist, and writer gathers the many strands of her "helter-skelter" life to pen a feminist memoir that recounts not only the milestones in her own journey, but the life and times of a country in flux. Kannabiran was witness to, and participant in, Andhra Pradesh politics and civil liberties during the tumultuous decades of the late 1970s and 1980s, both as part of the women's movement, and through the legal engagements of her husband, the legendary K.G. Kannabiran. The dark days of the 1975 Emergency; the uneasy calm in the aftermath of communal violence in Hyderabad in 1984; the thrill of electioneering; the historic peace talks between the Naxals and the government; the anti-arrack movement; Rameeza Bee and Mathura; alliances and networks across South and Southeast Asiashe was there, and she tells it like it was.

Soft cover. Condition: New. When well-known women's rights activist Vasanth Kannabiran was growing up in the 1950s, grandmothers and aunts shared many real-life stories about 'wives, widows and whores' with her. These seemingly disconnected anecdotes haunted Kannabiran, eventually revealing the pattern of women's lived realities in the early twentieth century and inspiring her to write Pankaja, her debut novel. In Pankaja, Kannabiran paints a vivid portrait of what it meant to be an upper-caste Hindu woman in India at the time. Pankaja's life and the lives of her women friends and family members are all shaped by the institution of marriage; limited by the norm of wifely duty. Pankaja's mother Rajamma faces undue criticism from society after she is widowed. Pankaja's sister Pattamma, who is widowed at a young age is branded a bad omen and shunned at social occasions. When Kannamma, who belongs to a Brahmin family, ends her unhappy marriage and goes to live with a low-caste mridangam player, her family disowns her and the entire community condemns her. The individual stories of these women converge and diverge as they claim the right to their own lives. Pankaja places family life under the microscope, presenting us with a vision of unflinching honesty. Laced with insights about marriage, widowhood and sexuality, it peels back history to reveal the inner workings of a casteist, patriarchal society. Wise and emotionally astute, this novel is an engrossing and moving read.…
