This distinction often leads to the marginalization of women’s roles in history, leaving a lack of substantial documentation about them. The book \u003cem\u003eGender and History\u003c\/em\u003e challenges this notion and explores history from a feminist perspective, focusing on the significant yet neglected roles of women throughout various historical periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection features twenty-eight selected papers from the 12th Women’s World Congress held in Hyderabad in 2014. The essays in this book focus on different regions and timeframes and examine history from a feminist lens. The authors argue that women’s roles were shaped by patriarchal limitations, emphasizing that their roles are socially constructed within specific historical contexts rather than being universal. The book also examines how women, in their efforts to challenge inequalities, turn to history to understand the roots of their oppression and learn from past struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gender and History\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Back to Basics: Patriarchy, Gender and Agency \/ Geraldine Forbes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.\u003c\/strong\u003e From Princely Subjects to the Threshold of Postcolonial Dawn: The Long Journey of Women in Deccan during the Rule of the Asaf Jahis \/ Rekha Pande\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Post Land Reform Era of Rural West Bengal: Gendered Access to Land Resources \/ Dipannita Bhattacharjee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Political Culture within Gendered Bracket: Bengal – Its History and Literature \/ Shruti Goswami\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Contribution of Indian Female Instrumentalists in the Development of Musical Heritage of India \/ Dipanwita Tripathi Roy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Role of Gender Performance in the Construction of Body: The Case of Women’s Practices in Kalaripayattu – A Martial Art of Kerala \/ Ashitha M.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Upper Cloth Movement in the Nineteenth Century Kerala Society \/ S.
