| Summary, etc |
This is a comprehensive appraisal of the relatively unexplored but highly impactful women's association, the Assam Mahila Samiti (1926) which led to one of the most remarkable women's movements in colonial India, prompting Sucheta Kripalani to call it the 'largest democratic women's association in India' during her inaugural address to the Samiti's annual conference in 1949. |
