About the Book

Gendered Violence in Public Spaces: Women’s Narratives of Travel in Neoliberal India examines the vulnerability of women in public spaces in India through an analysis of narrative representations ranging from emerging digital media, commercial Hindi films, and graphic narratives to accounts of real and lived experiences of women. In doing so, this collection initiates a scholarly discussion on manifold forms of emotional, mental, epistemic, and above all sexual violence female travelers face in male-dominated public spaces. Gendered Violence in Public Spaces therefore challenges contemporary readers to re-frame India’s public spaces against misogyny and gendered violence.

Review :
What happens to women who travel? To those who transgress into male dominated spaces (e.g. the world)? Gendered Violence in Public Spaces provides insights into these questions. Comprised of 12 beautifully written chapters, the book explores how women’s travel has been represented through literature, film, and print. Anxiety, anticipation, joy, risk, comfort, violence, vulnerability, and danger – these are all things the reader will encounter in this book which makes a valuable contribution to feminist geography, literature and media studies. Gendered Violence in Public Spaces makes an important contribution to the study of women’s writing from India that interrogates the vulnerability of women in public spaces. In bringing together theorization of space along with the work of feminist geographers, this book provides excellent readings of a range of literary texts, films, and television shows. This book will be a valuable addition to the libraries of South Asian, feminist, and literary scholars. Compelling and lucid, this anthology often veers into policy debates on reclaiming India’s public spaces rife with misogyny and sexual violence for the empowered female traveler. Its innovative and original approach brings value-addition to scholarship on female empowerment in the Indian subcontinent.
