Yet some remarkable and articulate women (who are the focus of this book) transgressed patriarchal boundaries crossing thresholds, literally and metaphorically to make their mark in the public sphere. These Indian women created the first ripple feminism of the region. Nineteenth-century men also inhabit the book social reformers and those who helped these women, as well as conservatives who opposed both the reformers and the progressive women. The central objective of Professor Kosambi s book is to interrogate official social history which posits strong male reformers and passive women recipients as well as retrieve and assess women s own pioneering contribution to their proto-feminist efforts.
