Abstract
In this issue, the Indian Association for Women’s Studies (IAWS) pays homage to Professor Neera Desai, a scholar and visionary of women’s liberation who pursued and launched women’s studies as an academic discipline through her sustained activism. IAWS also honours another remarkable crusader for gender justice, C.B.Muthamma, the first woman diplomat, whose struggle against gender discrimination within India’s prestigious Civil Service also requires special acknowledgement. The newsletter reports on a national level consultation on employment strategies and women’s work, as well as on Assisted Reproductive Technologies, especially on surrogacy and its implication for women’s rights to reproductive health.
