Changing Fem-scapes in India: Context, Opportunities, Challenges

I am constantly being told: “You don’t seem Indian. You don’t look (or act) like an Indian woman, and so on.” What does it mean to be an Indian woman or a woman in India today? First, it means recognizing the multiple intersecting identities of caste, faith, sexual preference, age, ability and place which both divide and unify us as we unite across disciplinary, institutional or geographical boundaries, as women fighting for our rights, for our voices to be heard, for work, for justice.
