The reader attempts to see the workings of gender in day-to-day lives, the site for complicated gender negotiations. The selection is wide ranging, including creative writing in English and translations from the other Indian languages, autobiographies, newspaper articles, theoretical pieces and visual material like advertisements and cartoons. The editors foreground differences and see how vectors like caste, class, sexuality and religion complicate the experiences of gender. The reader will open up issues for discussion and offer a different perspective without providing any neat resolutions.
