| The book is a collection of essays written over the last ten years and within different historical contexts. The essays cover a range of issues pertaining to women such as the various dimensions of displacement and its impact on women, religious fundamentalism, gender mainstreaming and its implications, the gendered impact of disasters and the cultural aspect of religion- whether these can be potentially liberating for women. Each of the essays are stand alone pieces, but they retain a basic continuity in terms of the theme as well as the perspectives that frame them. Women's struggle for their rights as articulated by women's movements in India and elsewhere, and other social movements emphasising justice and equality, provide an analytical lens for these essays. This lens includes patriarchies as a systemic given and tries to examine the workings of patriarchies in the course of various social developments. Feminist scholarship and activism informs the book right through.
