A particular interesting chapter in the complex history of the project of gendering, through tracing the debates around female dress-reform in late nineteenth-early twentieth century Malayalee society is discussed. Criticism against the aestheticisation of the female body in Keralam continues to be made from leftist-radical circles and feminism, to rightist, conservative positions.
