'The author of this absorbing book was, where India is concerned, truly present at the Creation...I urge her book on everyone who lived in those great years and on all those who want to know more about them.' --John Kenneth Galbraith When Mahatma Gandhi gave the call for the nation to join in the freedom struggle, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit threw herself wholeheartedly into the Movement, along with her father, Motilal Nehru, brother Jawaharlal, and husband, Ranjit Sitaram Pandit. Prison Days is an account of her third and final term in Naini Central Jail in Allahabad. She was arrested on 12 August 1942. World War II was on, the country was under military rule and arrest and imprisonment took place without trial. Several lorries filled with armed policemen arrived that night at Anand Bhawan to arrest one lone, unarmed woman. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit was soon joined in jail by her 25-year-old niece, Indira Gandhi. In this diary, Pandit recounts her experiences in jail and the hardships she endured along with others who had joined the fight for freedom: rations mixed with dirt and stones, a lack of water and sanitary facilities, surviving on an allowance of 9 annas a day, and only the hard ground to sleep on. Though it is more the personal, day-to-day details of her life that fill Pandit's jail diary, it is the politics of the day--the overarching desire to throw off the shackles of British rule and Mahatma Gandhi's unique approach of non-violence and non-cooperation to achieve this, that define the book. It is this that gives Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit and her fellow prisoners the courage to carry on the fight with unbroken spirits--and at the stroke of the midnight hour on 15 August 1947, victory was theirs. India was reborn as an independent nation.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a hero? Is extraordinary bravery reserve only for those with bulging muscles and chiseled jawlines? Can a hero be found in the most unlikely of places, hidden away like a secret treasure waiting to be discovered? Well, my dear reader, prepare to have your perceptions shattered and your heart touched, for I am about to take you on a journey that will introduce you to a group of heroes unlike any other. In the pages of this book, you will find a tapestry woven with the stories of Indian female freedom fighters. Their tales will leave you breathless, their courage will ignite a flame within your soul, and their sacrifices will forever etch their names into the annals of history. The remarkable women, who emerged from the domestic enclosure to the mainstream, were warriors who fought not with swords and shields, but with fierce determination and unwavering love for their motherland. The Indian independence movement was a series of historic events with the ultimate aim of ending British rule in India also known as British Raj. It lasted until 1947. The first nationalistic revolutionary movement for Indian independence emerged from Bengal. It later took root in the newly formed Indian National Congress with prominent moderate leaders seeking the right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations in British India, as well as more economic rights for natives. The first half of the 20th century saw a more radical approach towards self-rule. The stages of the independence struggle in the 1920s were characterize by the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and Congress' adoption of Gandhi's policy of non-violence and civil disobedience. Female leaders like Sarojini Naidu, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Pritilata Waddedar, and Kasturba Gandhi promoted the emancipation of Indian women and their participation in the freedom struggle. The Indian independence movement was in constant ideological evolution. Essentially anti-colonial, it was supplemented by visions of independent, economic development with a secular, democratic, republican, and civil-libertarian political structure. After the 1930s, the movement took on a strong socialist orientation. It culminated in the Indian Independence Act 1947, which ended Crown suzerainty and partitioned British Raj into Dominion of India and Dominion of Pakistan. India remained a Crown Dominion until 26 January 1950, when the Constitution of India established the Republic of India. Pakistan remained a dominion until 1956 when it adopted its first constitution. In 1971, East Pakistan declared its own independence as Bangladesh. Whenever the history of India’s freedom struggle is written, the sacrifices made by Indian Women will surely find the most prominent place in it. It was disgraceful to call women a weaker section, it was an injustice committed to them by men. If they meant moral courage, women had it many times more than men did. If she had not had more inner strength, self-sacrifice and tolerance than men and humankind would not have survived. If man was govern by nonviolence, the future belongs to women. When most of the men folk were in prison, a wonderful thing happened. Our women jumped into the arena of freedom struggle. They had always been contributing in the freedom struggle, but the wave of their unprecedented enthusiasm had surprised the British Government. The Home Secretary of the British government had to confess that nothing had disturbed him more than the great awakening among the Indian Women and the part played by them in Indian politics. As we turn the pages of history, we shall encounter the valiant Rani of Jhansi, who rode fearlessly into battle, her sword gleaming in the sunlight as she led her troops against the British forces. We shall meet the indomitable Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, who defied societal norms to fight for the freedom of her people from societal constraints. These women. Like drops in a torrential downpour, joined hands to create a deluge of revolution that would change the course of history forever. However, let us not be mistaken, dear reader, for the heroines of this tale were not limited to battlefields and war zones alone. No, their fight extended beyond the physical realm. They fought for equality, for justice, for the right to be seen and heard. They challenged the patriarchal norms that sought to confine women to the domestic sphere, and in doing so, they carved a path for future generations to tread upon. As we traverse the pages of this book, we shall delve into the lives of these shining stars of history. We shall observe their triumphs and their sorrows. We shall celebrate their indomitable spirit and honor their memory, for they deserve nothing less than our utmost admiration and respect. Dear reader, prepare to embark on a journey unlike any other. Together, let us step into the extraordinary lives of the Indian female freedom fighters and witness the power of a single voice, a single dream, and a single act of bravery.

A history of the twentieth-century feminists who fought for the rights of women, workers, and the poor, both in the United States and abroad For the Many presents an inspiring look at how US women and their global allies pushed the nation and the world toward justice and greater equality for all. Reclaiming social democracy as one of the central threads of American feminism, Dorothy Sue Cobble offers a bold rewriting of twentieth-century feminist history and documents how forces, peoples, and ideas worldwide shaped American politics. Cobble follows egalitarian women’s activism from the explosion of democracy movements before World War I to the establishment of the New Deal, through the upheavals in rights and social citizenship at midcentury, to the reassertion of conservatism and the revival of female-led movements today. Cobble brings to life the women who crossed borders of class, race, and nation to build grassroots campaigns, found international institutions, and enact policies dedicated to raising standards of life for everyone. Readers encounter famous figures, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Frances Perkins, and Mary McLeod Bethune, together with less well-known leaders, such as Rose Schneiderman, Maida Springer Kemp, and Esther Peterson. Multiple generations partnered to expand social and economic rights, and despite setbacks, the fight for the many persists, as twenty-first-century activists urgently demand a more caring, inclusive world. Putting women at the center of US political history, For the Many reveals the powerful currents of democratic equality that spurred American feminists to seek a better life for all.

In Western societies, many traditional feminist claims have already been fulfilled both in law and in official discourse. Indeed, legislative steps have already been taken towards securing civil and political rights and equal opportunities for women. This, of course, is not the case in many other regions of the world, as some of the chapters in this book clearly testify. Yet, notwithstanding the gains achieved in Western societies, residual forms of resistance and prejudice still persist in discourses, categories and discriminative practices in this so-called “post-feminist” era. Furthermore, new manifestations of asymmetries in gender relations and new ways of thinking and experiencing subjectivity are currently emerging, as a result of growing globalisation, economic crises, migration patterns, female sex and labour trafficking, trans-nationalism, and new technologies, not to mention the beauty and body sculpting industries.
