One of the most dynamic feminist movements in the world, Indian feminisms are seldom given the recognition they deserve, not only for the essential work they do but for the successes theyve had. This collection of essays, written by well-known activists and founders of prominent Indian feminist institutions, will change that.

Focusing on the post-1980 period of the Indian feminist movementa moment rich in new and different modes of resistance and of widespread political engagement with issues of rights, justice, and identityIndian Feminisms is a comprehensive and valuable glimpse into the history of modern activism.
