Female characters challenge patriarchal structures through criminal acts from "summary" of Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives by Shampa Roy
In Bangla crime narratives, female characters are often depicted as challenging patriarchal structures through their involvement in criminal acts. These women defy traditional gender norms and expectations by engaging in activities that are typically associated with men. By participating in criminal activities, these female characters assert their agency and autonomy in a society that seeks to restrict and control them. Through their criminal acts, these women disrupt the status quo and challenge the power dynamics that uphold patriarchal structures. They refuse to be confined to traditional gender roles and instead carve out their own paths, often at great personal risk. In doing so, they subvert the norms and values that seek to keep them in a subordinate position. These female characters are not passive victims of their circumstances but active agents who take control of their own destinies. They refuse to be mere objects of male desire or tools for male advancement, instead choosing to assert their own agency and assert their own power. In this way, they challenge the patriarchal structures that seek to keep them oppressed and marginalized. Through their criminal acts, these women also highlight the inequalities and injustices that pervade society. They draw attention to the ways in which gender norms and expectations limit women's opportunities and freedoms, and they demonstrate the ways in which women can resist and subvert these constraints. By defying societal norms and engaging in criminal behavior, these women make a powerful statement about the limitations and injustices of the patriarchal system.
