Questioning modernity and development

Viac o knihe

The book examines the portrayal of Kerala, India, as a model of social development, particularly highlighting women's achievements in education and health. It challenges the notion of Kerala as a success story for women's emancipation, presenting critical feminist perspectives that question the true impact of modern emancipation. The author argues that the critiques from Kerala's feminists can offer valuable insights when reassessing gender equality issues in Scandinavia, encouraging a broader dialogue on women's rights and societal progress.
