In the 21st century, we often associate the fight for women’s rights and empowerment as something that took shape and is further developing in the present times. Our understanding of the Indian history of women’s empowerment skips the innumerable ordinary voices which slowly and steadily made way for what women can think of achieving today. Changemakers, a tribute exhibition at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya’s (CSMVS) Premchand Roychand Gallery, highlights the lives of such women. Neeta Premchand, the curator of the display, says, “Things kept coming together when I found names of women from that period being repeated in my documents and reading material. That’s when I looked closer.”
