This book foregrounds the Subjectivity of 'acting women' amidst violent debates on feminity and education, livelihood and labour, sexuality and marriage. It looks at the emergence of the stage actress as an artist and an ideological construct at critical phases of performance practice in British India. The focus here is on Calcutta, considered the 'second city of the Empire' and a nodal point in global trade circuits.
