Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, University of Botswana, language: English, abstract: This paper seeks to examine the impact of globalization on cultural gender stereotypes regarding the place and role of women in Indian society. It grapples with the question of how globalization reinforces or subverts gender stereotypes. The paper concludes that even in the advent of globalization, there is still cultural resistance concerning the place and roles of women in African societies as depicted in Disai's "Cry the Peacock".Globalization brings with it a cross pollination of economic, cultural, religious and social ideas and perceptions which may result in convergent and divergent reactions in different societies. In most societies, globalization results in socio-cultural resistance, especially on gender and power relations.
