Though the concept had not evolved in the real sense of the term, there prevailed a consciousness about it among the social reformers of the day. In fact several issues pertaining to women such as child marriage, early widowhood, and inequality of treatment in social life were treated as social problems. In order to root out the evils reformative measures were brought in gradually. These social reform measures formed the basis for the author to write this bookon Gender Justice.
