Woman at the window by Shoma A. Chatterji (Paperback)

About This Book

Chatterji is a thoughtful, illuminating work of film criticism and cultural analysis exploring the representation of women in Indian cinema across decades. One of India's most respected film scholars, Chatterji examines how female characters have been portrayed, constrained, and occasionally liberated by the stories told on screen — and what those stories reveal about Indian society, gender, and power.
