ABSTRACT Once a feminist voice emanates from a person, it enters the public domain and illuminates others. Its endeavor is to emancipate and empower women and achieve gender equality. This article reads some feminist voices from India, especially those of Ruth Manorama, a Dalit feminist, and two Northeastern feminists, Vinatoli Yeptho from Nagaland, and Ninglun Hanghal from Manipur. These lead us to view certain common issues that bind them together. This article also looks into the different priorities of each of these feminists, in order to understand the contexts, cultures and experiences that have shaped their primary concerns.
