Vidyut Bhagwat is among the foremost scholars of a generation of scholarship in Women's Studies who moved with critical ease between the spaces of the women's movement and women's studies and took on the challenge of translating multidisciplinary feminist knowledges into interdisciplinary teaching and research programmes. These essays written over the last two decades show us the productive intellectual shifts in doing social history of Maharashtra inaugurated by feminist engagement with the medieval and modern literatures of the region and outline the political, intellectual and institutional challenges posed to the making of women's studies over the last two decades. The collection spans varied themes in Maharashtra Studies will interest students and researchers in social sciences and humanities.
