The contemporary women's movement in India, which began in the late 1970s, fought valiantly against dark times marked by violence and misogyny. This title offers a pictorial history of the multifaceted Indian women's movement, conveyed through its most immediate visual representation: posters, drawings, pamphlets, reports, brochures, and stickers.

Mainstream feminist discourse has failed to fully engage with commercial sex work. In a series of essays, this book corrects this lacuna. Moving beyond the traditional feminist focus on slavery and trafficking, HIV/AIDS, and other health issues, it features contributors who engage fully with the political and theoretical implications of sex work.
