## About this call

Language and literary discourse act as pivotal mechanisms through which power structures are articulated, subverted, and reconstructed. Women, Words, and World: Gender Studies in English Literary Discourse provides a high-level academic platform for rigorous, interdisciplinary research investigating the complex intersections of gender, textual expression, and socio-cultural paradigms. This peer-reviewed volume aims to bridge contemporary literary theory, discourse analysis, cultural studies, and intersectional feminism. By focusing on Women (subjectivity, agency, and socio-historical identity), Words (narrative strategy, stylistics, and linguistic politics), and World (globalization, spatial politics, and postcolonial environments), this publication seeks high-quality chapter contributions that push the boundaries of conventional gender discourse in English literature. **Scope & Thematic Tracks** We welcome theoretical, empirical, and analytical original research chapters spanning, but not limited to, the following thematic tracks: Track 1: Feminist Poetics, Canons & Textual Politics Re-reading classical, Victorian, and early modern texts through contemporary gender theories. *Subversion of patriarchal codes, canonical revisions, and counter-narratives. *The evolution of female authorship and literary aesthetics across centuries. Track 2: Intersectionality, Postcoloniality & Marginalized Discourses Intersectional dynamics: Gender at the nexus of race, caste, class, ethnicity, and migration. *Postcolonial female agency, subaltern studies, and indigenous/regional women's voices in translation. *Transnational feminisms and global anglophone literatures. Track 3: Linguistics, Discourse Analysis & Media Studies Stylistics, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics of gendered narratives. *Voice, silence, and linguistic representation of trauma, resistance, and identity. *Digital humanities, cyber-feminism, contemporary pop culture, and social media discourse. Track 4: Spatial Politics, Queer Studies & Ecological Feminisms Ecofeminism, environmental justice, and non-human agency in literary texts. *Deconstructing the gender binary: Queer theory, non-conforming identities, and fluid masculinities/femininities. *Spatial politics, bodily autonomy, and domestic vs. public spheres in literature.
