Women in Pre & Post Independent India

While most of us are familiar with the men who took part in India's independence movement in an inherently patriarchal society, the unsung women freedom fighters are unremembered. Their selflessness, courage and achievements are invisible in Indian memories, and their participation in the freedom struggle have historically remained unacknowledged. Indian nationalist women are part of our history, and throughout the freedom struggle, they lived and advanced a credible existence for the wider good of the nation.

The book is divided into three sections. The narratives weave between the eighteenth century and the twenty-first century, and the stories tie back to the title of the book.
