This book is about the relation between law and feministpolitics. The area it traverses ranges from feminist initiatives on sexual harassmentto the parity movement in France. The author addresses a particular dilemmafor radical politics - in particular, feminist politics - in India. The dilemmahas become visible over the last two decades and arises at the interface ofradical political practice and the logic of constitutionalism. By 'constitutionalism'she refers to the specific method adopted by modern democracies of safeguardingthe autonomy of the individual self. The dilemma that faces radical politicstoday is what the author terms the 'paradox of constitutionalism'. Thisoccurs when various differing moral visions comeup against the universalisingdrive of constitutionality and the language of universal rights. The book concludes byexploring the consequences of this understanding for feminist theory andpractice.
