This is a collection of 21 contemporary short stories and poems from various Indian languages that reframes the mother-daughter relationship as a significant issue for women’s writing from India. This anthology foregrounds the critical significance of this relationship, and calls upon feminist scholarship to put the mother-daughter relationship front and centre, to permit new insight into what it means to be female in contemporary India.
