A popular first book for gender studies students in India.
A book that argues feminism is not only about women but a way of seeing the whole world: the family, the body, desire, work and the law. Nivedita Menon writes from India, with Indian examples, and it reads like a conversation. A good first book for anyone new to feminist ideas.
