The Awakening of Indian Women By Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay and Others

Paperback £8.99

“Walls of tradition cracked and rays of new hope came creeping in....”

The Awakening of India Women is Kamaladevi’s anti-colonial feminist vision—a dream of India liberated from the violence of British colonial rule.

Told by a vibrant cast of activists at the centre of feminist and anti-imperial struggles, Awakening includes a historical account of the Indian feminist movement written by Irish suffrage activist and anti-colonial agitator Margaret Cousins.

First published on the eve of the Second World War and, until now, buried in the archives, this unique document from the first global feminist movement is testimony to the deep historical roots of revolutionary feminist thought and action.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
