Philosophical Trends in the Feminist Movement, originally written as a "special supplement" to the Communist Party of India's publication Peoples March under her pseudonym Avanti, in "Philosophical Trends in the Feminist Movement," Ghandy maps the historical trail of feminism from the emergence of women's movements during the development of capitalism, a period of immense change in social conditions. Each chapter offers a critical argument against the primary ideological tenets of each trend, along with a brief critique informed with a perspective on class.
