Gendered Violence in Public Spaces: Women’s Narratives of Travel in Neoliberal India examines the vulnerability of women in public spaces in India through the analysis of artistic representations ranging from emerging digital media, commercial Hindi films and graphic narratives to narratives of real and lived experiences of women. In doing so, this volume initiates a scholarly discussion on the myriad challenges posed by male-dominated public spaces for the female traveler, demanding women’s rights as free and equal citizens who can fearlessly inhabit and explore public spaces and roads. Making the problem of women’s vulnerability in public spaces their chief focus, the contributing scholars highlight how ambitious and steadfast women who choose to contest the perils of the road are censured by manifold forms of emotional, mental, epistemic, and above all sexual violence. Gendered Violence in Public Spaces articulates the challenges associated with women’s mobility to inaugurate cultural and scholarly debates that may help India re-examine its public spaces against misogyny and gendered violence.
