In Search of Answers: Indian Women's Voices from Manushi : A Selection from the 1st 5 Years of Manushi

by Madhu Purnima Kishwar, Ruth Vanita

Manushi, India's leading journal on women's issues and human rights, is respected internationally for its scholarly investigation of socio-economic issues and its committed activism. This book offers a selection of the most incisive records to have appeared in the journal in the first five years. The articles explore why, even four decades after Independence, women remain oppressed, and need to toil endlessly for basic necessities. The findings of this hard-hitting book are from different regions, castes, classses, and communities, and provide an all-India perspective.
