DESCRIPTION
Breast giver is Gayatri Spivak's translation of Mahasweta Devi's piece from her book Breast Stories. Mahasweta Devi outlines women’s identity as body, worker and object. In a tale of a Bengali wet-nurse, Devi shows female protagonist, Jashoda, living in a 1960’s India as she is compelled to take up ‘professional motherhood’ when her Brahman husband loses both his feet.
