India's most important women's rights cases explained in one outstanding book.

From the anti-dowry agitations of the 1970s to the current backlash against perceived misuse of laws, to Shah Bano and the UCC debate, to the Nirbhaya movement and its continuing reverberations - the story of women's rights in India is nothing short of extraordinary, and the role of the courts is an integral part of that story.

In this compelling account, lawyer Mihira Sood takes us through landmark women's rights cases of the past fifty years, as well as the social and political context that surrounded them. These cases were pivotal in challenging entrenched norms - at home, at work and in society - forcing us to confront what equality truly means and how far we have yet to go.

Written with clarity, authority and narrative force, the book examines both the promise of law, as well as its limitations as a vehicle for social change. It is essential reading for lawyers and non-lawyers alike, providing an engaging, informative, and much-needed chapter to the story of independent India.
