Present book is an attempt to plug an important lacuna in the rich literature on women's studies in India by providing a panoramic view of the women's studies movement, its challenges and achievements since the 1970s. Juxtaposed against this are the minutiae of the work of some women's studies centres that operate within a constrained and often hostile environment. A meticulous use of documents and interviews with some renowned pioneers enables the author to recreate the so far little known history of the institutionalisation of women's studies in the last thirty years.
