Baya Marathi Masik _top_ -

The landscape of Marathi periodicals has long been enriched by publications catering to diverse readerships. Among them, Baya Marathi Masik (बाया मराठी मासिक) occupies a unique and significant space. Unlike mainstream family magazines that often dilute feminist discourse, Baya (meaning "women" in a respectful, familiar Marathi context) has consistently positioned itself as a monthly that speaks by women, for women, and about women. This paper examines the role, content, and impact of Baya Marathi Masik in shaping contemporary Marathi feminist thought.
