This article is a reflection on my career as a feminist anthropologist. It suggests that it was feminism that allowed sociology to be reflexively reversed in using the life of an individual to understand the bigger system. It moves on to discuss my own engagement with feminist anthropology: my growth as a scholar in the field over nearly four decades which also mirrors some aspects of the development of the subject and the Indian scholarship around it. It maps my trajectory and that of the discipline of anthropology over locations of caste, class and postcoloniality. It also provides a review of the relationship between feminism and anthropology in India
