Reviews :-
....The book is a 'Must Read' for its thought provoking analysis and valuable insights...
Prof. K.T. Pandurangi
Former Professor of Sanskrit, Bangalore University,
Vice-Chairman & Hon. Director Dvaita Vedanta Foundation, Bangalore.
“ ... Your perspective is much broader than Gandhiji's and much fuller.'
Prof. G S Amur
(Eminent Critic & Kannada Writer)
“This definitive work on Hinduism is marked by high scholarship and penetrating analysis. The book takes a critical look at Hinduism with a rare measure of objectivity and without any rancour towards other religions. It is a masterly documentation of numerous corrective processes helping the Hindu society to assimilate modernity, pluralism and secular modes of governance. Truly, a book Gandhiji, who figures in the subtitle of the book, would be proud of!! ”
Prof. V M Rao
Institute for Social and Economic Change, Bangalore
“In my many years of listening to people talk on religion, dialogue and harmony, I was rarely as inspired and impressed as I was with your thoughts. ... very balanced, insightful and lofty way of thinking and expression.”
Prof. Ali Khwaja
Chairman- Banjara Academy, Hon. Director- Helping Hand

About the Book
In her latest book, Gillian Howie offers a bold new way to make sense of the relationship between feminist theory and capitalism. This exciting combination of existentialism, phenomenology, and critical theory delivers a proactive feminism ready to respond to the challenges presented by our thoroughly modern times.
Reviews
"Howie constructs a genuinely critical feminist theory capable of unifying, dialectically, many of the diverse problems that exercise feminists today. Through a sophisticated, systematic deployment of a philosophically nuanced materialism, Howie defends the senses of realism, objectivity, essence, woman, and patriarchy, which she argues are necessary for the identification of and struggle against the oppression of women. She also convincingly explains the form that oppression often takes by demonstrating the relevance of revivified Marxist categories (reification, commodification, alienation, exploitation), while bending a sometimes-reluctant Adorno into the service of feminism. This book should be read by anyone interested in the relation between feminist theory and politics and confirms Howie as one of the most important feminist materialist thinkers writing in English today." - Stella Sandford, Principal Lecturer in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University London
