Contemporary debates on “mansplaining” foreground the authority enjoyed by male speech, and highlight the way it projects listening as the responsibility of the dominated, and speech as the privilege of the dominant.

Recensioner i media

“The author writes in a lucid and yet sophisticated style and while the book is a must-read for scholars of Religious Studies (especially Hindu Studies) and Gender Studies, it will also benefit students/scholars of Women Studies, Comparative Religion and Postcolonial Studies. I would further insist that the book can be enjoyed even by ‘lay’ readers since it is a repository of beautiful mythological stories.” (Madhurima Nayak, Journal of Dharma Studies, April 12, 2022)
