Tribute to Dr. Gail Omvedt (1941-2021)

Dr. Gail Omvedt, committed and courageous, prolific writer and powerful social scientists who brought to the fore Phule-Ambedkar legacy in the context of rising social movements in the post emergency period is no more. She passed on 25 August 2021 at the age of 80.  Gail's close association with grass-roots movements of rural women- farmers, forest dwellers and women headed households and her involvement in the newly formed women's rights movement during late 1970s were captured in her engaging and outstanding first person account in her book, We Shall Smash this Prison published in 1978.
