Abstract

My involvement with anti-violence against women work began in the early 1970s as I enrolled in a college in the U.S. I had come to the U.S. as a young wife and started school as a young mother in a Midwestern university. My initiation into formal feminism occurred when I joined a consciousness-raising group with other women from the community and fellow students in Ohio. I say ‘formal feminism’ intentionally to distinguish this awareness from the discomfort I felt when, as a young girl growing up in India, I looked around and recognized the restrictions that girded the lives of girls and women, the ‘un-freedoms’ they suffered in silence.
