Description

Women's stories in India have been handed down from generation to generation, enriched and embroidered along the way.

Political change and the arrival of print culture meant that storytelling was pushed into the background.

But in more recent times, these voices have once again come centre-stage - confident, varied and complex.

Spanning half a century, this collection covers many languages and cultures, and reflects the vast and complex cultures of the country and its diaspora.

It offers a view of the changes that have taken place, both in terms of the subjects women choose to write about and their preferred way of writing about these subjects.

From established names such as Mahashveta Devi to the newer generation of young authors, such as Tishani Doshi, Katha brings to the reader a vivid array of voices.
