We are interested in exploring the historical contexts that enabled the thinking of these pathbreaking feminist scholars at the time. We also want to find out how conversations with other feminists as well as collective strands of thinking and debating shaped the emergence of their work. In these conversations, we trace back the genealogies of thoughts and concepts that they helped to bring forth and map future paths of feminist thinking, including such that address current controversies and burning questions. The conversations bring forth exigent questions around power, inequality and violence, they tackle the relation of sex, gender and sexuality as well as the relation of sex, body and materiality. We discuss the contributions of feminism into analyzing and challenging significant differences other than gender – such as race, class, nationality, religion, and caste and the way they are entangled with each other.
