India: Gail Omvedt: The Legacy of an Activist Writer
9 October, by siawi3The passing of Gail Omvedt on August 26, 2021 at her home in Kasegaon was received with great emotion by wide sections of women’s movements and Dalit movements. This is not surprising, because she was very well known not only as a prolific writer, but as an activist as well. The respected academic, who has died aged 80, was a leading anti-caste campaigner and fought tirelessly for women’s rights. She championed the most marginalised in Indian society and she “truly practise[d] what feminists call prefigurative politics, ie, live by your principles”.
