N2  - It can be said that in India, the word “Gender Justice”, as a pre-inde­pendence concept, was not in vogue in the 19th or 20th century. 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
