Action India and the Women's Movement
The emergence of the Women’s Movement all over the world is one of the most significant developments of the last quarter of the 20th Century. Women everywhere were beginning to perceive themselves in new ways, with a growing determination to participate in the shaping of society rather than remain its primary victims. Women of almost every culture and class have developed a new consciousness, which at this juncture of history is perhaps one of the most important forces to create political change in the world. Women are ready to set the agenda.
