"During Vedic times, women had full equality in all spheres with men. However, over time, the social system became male-oriented for various reasons, and women found themselves subjugated to the will of the men in the family. This book is an attempt to focus on the long and arduous struggle by women for their rights and for equality. That they were successful to a large extent is the fact that a woman even became the Prime Minister of India. Students of history, teachers, gender activists and all those interested in the movement that led to the liberation and emancipation of women in India will find this book not only useful for its archival material but also because of the spotlight it places on their efforts."
