Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The women's movement in India has had a chequered history. It has evolved over time from being hand-held by men to finding and devising its own praxis and momentum. The movement is also layered with multiple narratives, some of which are dominant and some marginal, some national and some local, which are, however, not exclusive but also often speak to each other. This article attempts to make sense of the multiple meanings and trajectories of the women's movement in India from various historical, empirical and theoretical vantage points. It tries to capture the range of issues that the women's movement in India has been associated with as also the debates that have animated the activists and commentators. Finally, it locates the women's movement within the context of economic liberalisation mapping its responses and use of various resources to deal with a new political economy and its concomitant effects. - Reproduced.
