Jaspal Kaur Singh argues that, while some writers conceptualize women's equality in terms of educational and professional opportunity, sexual liberation, and individualism, others recognize the limitations of a paradigm of liberation that focuses only on individual freedom. Certain diasporic artists and writers assert that transformation of gender identity construction occurs, but only in transnational cultural spaces of the first world-spaces which have emerged in an era of rampant globalization and market liberalism. In particular, Singh advocates the inclusion of texts from women of different classes, religions, and castes, both in the Global North and in the South. 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Women Authors$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Women's Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Women Authors 615 7$aSocial Science / Women's Studies 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aSingh$b Jaspal Kaur$0802022 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910980182603321 996 $aRepresentation and Resistance$94320701 997 $aUNINA
