About Our Speaker
Tarini Bhamburkar is a postgraduate researcher at the University of Bristol. She will be discussing how two Victorian feminist periodicals’ – the Women’s Penny Paper and The Woman’s Signal – coverage of the feminist activities of women in late Victorian India showcased an effort to inform British women of Indian women’s progress and also to embed the discourse of Indian women’s reform within British women’s own reform ideas.
The talk will also consider the representation and self-representation of two Indian women’s rights advocates – and the only racial minority – whose interviews were published in these periodicals, locating the analyses of these interviews in the context and perception of the ‘New Woman’ in both colony and metropole.
Tarini was also recently awarded VPR’s Expanding the Field prize. Congratulations, Tarini!
