Kashibai Kanitkar (1861“1948), was the first major woman writer in Marathi. She was largely self-taught and keenly conscious of the benefits of women`s education. She promoted this and other emancipatory measures for women through her prolific and wide-ranging writings”both fiction and non-fiction”deploying them as a mode of social reform discourse.

The present book includes translations of most of Kashibai`s works: both her novels (in abridged form); a review of Pandita Ramabai`s American travelogue; long extracts from Kashibai`s episodic autobiographical narrative as well as from her biography of India`s first woman doctor, Dr. Anandibai Joshee; and an article tracing the history of women`s education in Maharashtra.
A comprehensive introduction by Meera Kosambi contextualizes these texts and situates Kashibai within her social and literary milieu. Kashibai, Professor Kosambi shows, was a pioneering writer who created a new paradigm in Marathi literature. It was she who enabled Maharashtra`s rich tradition of women`s writings by foundational contributions which ˜engendered` Marathi literature.
