520 _aThe development of feminist autonomy from the 1980s onwards necessitated a departure from traditional organisational structures. The structurelessness and informality of autonomous women’s collectives created scope for the experimentation on questions of leadership, hierarchy, volunteerism, funding, and registration. This paper traces how feminist autonomy survived the NGOisation and the institutionalisation of the 1990s and argues that it has reconstituted itself leading to the formation of newer student and identity-based feminist collectives and organising. The constant metamorphosis of this politics has resisted political and economic shifts at different points in time, including the present. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/33/special-articles/being-autonomous-being-collective.html
