The quest for re- dening and re-structuring the individuality of a woman has always been prime concern of the writers and the thinkers alike. They have attained a different level of dimensional approach. A new silhouette is emerging on the horizon and taking the shape of a fourth wave of feminism. They speak in terms of intersectionality whereby women’s suppression can only fully be understood in a context of the marginalization of other groups and genders—feminism is part of a larger consciousness of oppression along with racism, ageism, classism, ableism, and sexual orientation. The growing awareness and the social change amongst women, in the last decade is the outcome of the writings and the voices echoed. This edited volume provides a critical approach to analyze and study the feminist writing against the backdrop of media, literature, journalism, and law. The present anthology aims to explore the culturally powerful representation of women in legal theory, cultural studies, journalism, political science, sociology, media and communication, thereby demystifying the paradigms of gender inequality in the global context.
