Sensible and Sensuality is a collection of essay by renowned Indian Feminist writer Sarojini Sahoo. Published in 2010, the book contents author’s view on feminism. Sahoo is a key figure and trendsetter of feminism in contemporary Indian literature. She has been enlisted among 25 exceptional women of India by ‘Kindle’ English magazine of Kolkata. For her, feminism is not a "gender problem" or confrontational attack on male hegemony and, as such, differs from the feminist views of Virginia Woolf or Judith Butler.
Feminism has often been misunderstood as a bunch of stereotyped hysterical man-hating fanatics who seek power and control rather than true equality. But to the author, ‘feminism’ is not just a movement for the liberation of women, but rather a broad social movement striving for the equality of each individual worldwide.

This is a collage presentation of south Asian feminist novelist Sarojini Sahoo’s novel The Dark Abode and American poet painter Ed Baker’s sketch book Uma. It is the English translation of Sahoo’s much-acclaimed Oriya novel, Gambhiri Ghara, which was first published in a magazine in 2005. The same year, it also appeared in book form and proved to be a best seller. A Bengali translation has also been published from Bangladesh as Mithya Gerosthali by Anupam Prakashani Dhaka, and has gained a great response from Bengali readers. The novel deals with the terrorism that people often face from the micro to the macro sphere.
The novel begins with questioning the mere physicality of the man-woman relationship and then transports the reader into the higher planes of platonic love. Kuki, the central character of the novel, is a Hindu woman from India who falls (and then rises) in love with a Muslim artist from Pakistan. The unusualness of the socio-cultural background of these two characters is portrayed by Sahoo in a sensitive and convincing manner. The reader becomes familiar with two sets of roles that Kuki plays; that of a lover and that of a wife. She subtly balances these two roles and at the same time | |  | | Waiting For Manna
