A lecture on "Changing The Narrative: The Journey of Feminist Publishing" delivered by Urvashi Butalia



Urvashi Butalia delivered an Extension Lecture on "Changing The Narrative: The Journey of Feminist Publishing"

She made an argument that "the question asked for the Census about the occupation of a homemaker (woman) from the male householder, who says that his wife doesn't work, will not provide the real picture of her work. Rather, one should ask the same question, changing its nature a little bit, from the woman herself about her whole day since she wakes up till she sleeps. The whole picture will change by changing the nature of the question."

The lecture was organised by the Department Of English, Jamia Millia Islamia on 02-03-24.

Urvashi Butalia is an Indian feminist writer, Independent Feminist Publisher, activist and Founder, Zubaan Books. Also, she is a visiting faculty at Ashoka University and a reader at College of Vocational Studies, University of Delhi.
