The book begins with the momentous task of demolishing the
prejudices attached with the phrase 'founding fathers' that has
held an immense sway over constitutional interpretation. It shows
that women members of the Indian Constituent Assembly had
painstakingly co-authored a Constitution that embodied a moral
imagination developed by years of feminist politics. It traces the
genealogies of several constitutional provisions to argue that,
without the interventions of these women framers, the Constitution
would hardly have a much poorer document of rights and statecraft
that it is. Situating these interventions in the larger trajectory
of Indian feminism in which they are rooted, in the nationalist
discourse with which they perpetually negotiated, and in the larger
human rights discourse of the 1940s, the book shows that the women
members of the Indian Constituent Assembly were much more than the
'founding mothers' of a republic.
