About the Book
This book is a reflective and deeply grounded account drawn from the author’s four decades of active participation in the women’s mass movement under the leadership of the Communist Party. With modest claims and humble origins, Renu Chakravarty bases her analysis on lived experience and sustained political engagement. The book argues that the real emancipation of women cannot be achieved within a society driven by exploitation, profit, and greed, where women are treated as property or chattel. Instead, it emphasizes the need for a fundamental socio-economic transformation to ensure genuine equality and dignity for women. Central to this vision is the role of organized mass movements, which the author sees as essential for challenging entrenched structures of oppression and achieving lasting change. The book offers valuable insights into women’s struggles, political activism, and the broader quest for social justice.
