Vibrant, dynamic, spirited, and forceful. The contemporary women’s movement in India, which began in the late 1970s, fought valiantly against dark times marked by violence and misogyny. But it also celebrated—liberation, solidarity among women, and the joyous breaking away from patriarchy. Its members sang, performed, and painted, in order to draw attention to the vital issues of the time: dowry death, widow immolation, acid throwing, and rape.
