The book Indian Women Across Generations brings forth the life and predicament of women, including in its narration the discriminations and denials to them in the past as well as in the present in particular areas of activities. It attempts to chronicle the struggles and achievements of the generations highlighted through their experiences. The study derives much of its strength and sophistication from the basis of women’s experiences of oppression that they continued to experience daily and exclusions of various kinds. The pain, anger, helplessness, and mental turmoil of women of the bygone eras; the anger, assertiveness of the present age — all put together created new identity for women. The book provides a wider perspective on the ‘roots’ of women’s lifestyles in general and interrelated development issues of women across five generations over a period dating back to a century 1900 to 2000 in particular. The focus is to assess the forces which goaded women to act against the currents of their times; the conditions which insulated them from society’s expectations giving them strength, energy, and a sense of destiny and determination to not to accept the conventional, or say pathetic and submissive female roles. Women have come a long way since a century back though all development are not universally applicable. The book interestingly highlights the insights and challenges of Indian women belonging to different generations and different age groups. This book will be an asset for those interested in Women Studies and an illuminating and provocative book for all others concerned with women issues.
