Scholarship on women and gender in Kerala took a turn in the 1990s, in the wake of economic liberalisation, the debates generated by the anti-Mandal agitation and the demolition of the Babri Masjid, and importantly, the erosion of leftist hegemony, accelerated by, among other things, the fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and “actually existing” socialism.
