About the Book

The eight women in this slim volume are among the many who witnessed, and participated in, the events leading up to the independence of India and who wrote about both, the events, as well as their impact on individual lives. They observed the birth of the nation and recorded that epochal moment, as well as its aftermath, in short story, novel, essay, memoir and autobiography. How did they think of themselves, or of their relationship, with their country? What was nation or nationalism for them? Did they see them as linked, or as discrete? How did they locate themselves in both nation and country—as participants, interlocutors, commentators, and actors, yes, but always, although not always statedly, as women. This collection shares eight women’s ideas of India in a consideration of, and through, their own words and writing
