This volume includes three street plays from the Indian womens movement written in the 1980s and widely performed as part of the vibrant cultural activism of the time. Giving Away the Girl and The Monkey Dance are anti-dowry plays. Why All This Bloodshed? Was written in the wake of the landmark Shah Bano case in the mid-80s, centering around a Muslim womans right to maintenance. All the plays remain remarkably relevant, opening up key issues of the movement in a complex and nuanced manner, facilitating debate rather than offering simplistic solutions.
