This volume presents a comprehensive overview of feminist movement, theory and politics in India in the form of debates that emerge within the movement on key issues. The introductory chapter provides an outline of the issues involved and their importance in understanding the politics of gender, the effects of structural adjustment politics and new technologies on women and the engagement of feminism with law. The implications of feminist critique of within mainstream policy has been dealt with as also the feminist critique of imagining of 'community' and state practices which deny validity yo any loyalties other than to the state itself. The book makes stimulating reading for students of gender studies and those interested in the dynamics of the women's movement.
