From the Paper:

"Whenever we talk about a labor conflict in any region, the first thing that comes to our mind is the issue of strikes in the manufacturing industry. The usual concept that comes to our minds is of men struggling to establish rights in the workplace. We rarely think of the struggles of women, especially the health care workers. However, in many parts of the country women in health care have been involved in similar important struggles."
