The author aims to find answers on the prevalence of women’s movement and feminism in the country and critically analyses the agency of women. She asserts that women’s leadership is not a given nor can it be purchased or owned. She is also firm in that being a woman doesn’t make one a feminist. With a focus on women’s emancipation, the author claims that it is only women themselves who, with their existing epistemic advantage, can transform their situation and change their status. Over de auteur Indra Biseswar "Born in Surinam, I was driven to do something on women’s rights. This was mainly because of my own personal experiences. I refused to slavishly continue my life as outlined for generations in our family. After my studies at the Erasmus University and the Institute of Social Studies in the Netherlands, my work provided ample opportunities for this. I organized gender debates, wrote and published papers, lectured in gender studies and now I bring this book to my readers."
