Description
This comprehensive study explores the evolution of feminism in India, dissecting its distinct generational waves, from the anti-colonial movements of the 19th century to contemporary issues. The book critically examines the cultural and political underpinnings that shaped each phase, including the rise of autonomous feminist groups, the impact of liberalization in the 1990s, and the diversification of feminist voices in the 21st century. By engaging with complex issues like caste, state feminism, and the NGO-ization of feminist movements, this book provides a nuanced perspective on the achievements, challenges, and future directions of Indian feminism.
