- The History of Doing: An Illustrated Account of Movements for Women's Rights and Feminism in India 1800–1990 is a book by Radha Kumar. First published in 1993 in New Delhi by Kali for Women after a Norwegian organisation's grant of Rs 1.4 lakh, and later published by Zubaan (an imprint of Kali) and Verso, the illustrated book is "a brief interpretative history of women's movements in India from the beginning of the nineteenth century until the present day", as the first line of the introduction concisely conveys. Divided into 12 chapters and four other sections—dedication, acknowledgements, conclusion and index—the original edition of the book spans 203 pages. The book can broadly be distinguished into two main parts, women in India during time of the British Empire and then the period after India gained independence. According to a book review in Socialist Review, "What makes the book more intriguing is the way it is broken up with copies of leaflets, reprints of posters, boxes with the life histories of some of the women involved and lots of pictures of activities." The pictures of protesting women tells a story in itself and is a peek into "what the liberating power of mass activity means." Tulsi Patel notes the same in the Sociological Bulletin about the visual anthropology in her review of the book, adding that the book is enriched by photographs, bills, debates and other issues put inside the boxes.
