Reading the East India Company is an account of how the practice of archiving by the British East India Company shaped colonial ideologies of class and gender. She uses novels, memories, portraiture and guidebooks to prove that while it was British men who controlled these ideologies of class and gender, in many instances, those who had lesser power, like British women and Indians also left their mark on these archives.

Betty Joseph teaches English at Rice University in Texas. She is a known gender studies scholar.
