Seeing Like a Feminist by Nivedita Menon
No Reviews
Book Overview
In Seeing Like a Feminist, Menon combines political theory, social critique, and engaging narratives to challenge conventional understandings of gender and power. The book examines topics including the politics of the family, bodies and desire, sexual violence, and feminist activism, both in India and globally. Menon emphasizes that feminism isn’t just about women’s rights, but about transforming how society constructs identities and allocates power. She argues that gender hierarchies are maintained through cultural norms, legal frameworks, and institutional practices—and that understanding these forces is essential to creating meaningful social change.
The book also explores intersectionality—how gender intersects with caste, class, religion, and sexuality—showing that there is no single feminist experience but many overlapping struggles that must be acknowledged and addressed. Menon’s writing makes complex ideas accessible to general readers while retaining intellectual depth, making this book suitable for both newcomers and those well-versed in feminist thought.
