Summary of the Book
Neera Desai has undertaken a quest to understand the women’s movement and the women actively involved in the movement in this book. It is a journey that takes us through more than three decades of struggle to raise and understand women’s issues. The voices that emerge from these narratives are not a chorus in unison. They are voices that agree and disagree and they define and delineate in different languages of experience. But their core concern is similar and genuine. There is also nothing conclusive about what is spoken in these narratives. They are open-ended narratives. As one of them states, one can have the right questions but not always all the answers. There is the possibility that the right questions will, in future, lead us to a variety of right answers.
