Abstract

The fact that progress in equal rights for women has come about largely through the efforts of social reform movement in the 19th century and women’s liberation movement in the 20th century Maharashtra highlights the essential role of collective agency in human progress. Given the constraints on women’s agency by political institutions such as male-dominated political parties, social institutions such as the family, and social norms such as women’s responsibilities for care work, these issues and their underlying causes clearly must be tackled head on.
