Samhita Mukhopadhyay On Feminism
Samhita started pretty young in terms of being really invested in women’s issues and feminist issues. She started blogging at Feministing in 2005 and came up on South Asian feminists, like Chandra Mohanty and Gayatri Spivak. That allowed her to dig back into her South Asian roots because Samhita did feel very alienated when she had this very strong gender analysis.
Samhita didn’t see other people who looked like her in the feminist movement. So she tried finding other ways in. Black feminism and Indian feminism brought her back into it to really look at and understand her mother’s life or her grandmother’s life.
