Abstract
Women in India Through the Ages is a compelling exploration of the evolving status, roles, and contributions of women across different historical epochs. The book traces their journey from ancient reverence and participation in intellectual life, through periods of subjugation and socio-political marginalization, to their resurgence in modern times as agents of change and empowerment. By weaving together cultural, social, and legal perspectives, it highlights both the struggles and triumphs of Indian women, offering readers a nuanced understanding of their resilience and impact on the nation’s progress. This review critically engages with the text’s historical depth, thematic coherence, and relevance to contemporary gender discourse.
