We Also Made History

The book is divided into two sections. The first section provides a historical analysis of the participation and role of women in the Ambedkar movement, as well as previous Dalit struggles in the twentieth century. The second part features interviews and brief biographies of 45 Dalit women.^[5][4] These women include Ramabai Ambedkar, Dr. Ambedkar's first wife; Sulochanabai Dongre, who chaired the women's conference at the founding of the All India Scheduled Castes Federation in 1942; and Sakhubai Mohite, who was elected president of the All India Buddhist Women's Association in 1956 after joining Ambedkar in converting to Buddhism as a protest against the Hindu caste system.^[4]

The book is described as "a treasure to Dalit and Dalit feminist studies", shedding light on critical issues in "feminist historiography without resorting to abstract theoretical notions."^[who?][6]
