Abstract:
The Institute of Social Studies Trust (ISST) was founded on the understanding that sustained efforts were needed to build evidence on women's work and engage with mainstream economists to recognise the work and the value of the work that women do. Over the past four decades, ISST has challenged traditional economic theories and data collection methodologies that marginalised or overlooked women's contributions, reshaping narratives around labour, productivity and women's economic agency.
This book not only reflects on ISST's institutional achievements but also serves as a testament to the enduring relevance of feminist thought in shaping the contemporary discourse on gender-transformative approaches to social justice, particularly through the lens of women in informal work.
This book reflects the collective effort and dedication of many. We invite you to read through the articles by Rajib Nandi, Dr. Monika Banerjee, Anweshaa Ghosh, Mubashira Zaidi, Dr. Shiney Chakraborty , Ayesha Datta, Abhishek Sekharan, Ashmeet Bilkhu, Ratna M. Sudarshan, Jahnvi Andharia, and Shraddha Chigateri – all of whom have been co- travellers with ISST.
