It looks at how women's issues were raised, initially by men and the part of the movements for social reforms, and then with the involvement of women in the nationalist movement, by women themselves. Using photographs, old and new documents, excerpts from letters, books and informal writings, the author documents the growing involvement of women and the formation of the early women organizations; she examines the foregrounding of the 'women's issue' during the reform and nationalist movements and its subsequent disappearance from the agenda of public debate until the post independence period of Sixties and Seventies when it surfaces again. Key questions are raised regarding the nature of the contemporary movement, the kinds of issues (such as rape, dowry, environment, work, health) it has taken up, its directions and perspectives, its differences from the western movements, the role of autonomous women's organizations and their relationship with political parties, especially those of the left. Visually rich, this book provides a wealth information in an easily written and accessible style and should appeal to a wide cross-section of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eExperts From Reviews:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \" it is one of Kumar's several strengths that she is honest and clear-headed about her subject.
