Indigenous Roots of Feminism analyses the feminist movement in India in a historical perspective, free from the hangover of western concerns… Colour photos, a filmography on the representation of women in films and a comprehensive bibliography make the book complete and all-inclusive in its exploration of the native ancestry of Indian feminism.
Dr Jasbir Jain’s book dwells on the origin of feminism in India…the book is free of the jargon that seems to be mandatory in many academic books today. It is entirely accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject.
