The present communication can open the way to unfold the social and cultural dynamics of women participation in Science & Technology and the journey of early women professionals from the inner quarters of domesticity to the 'contested sites' of male-centric and male dominated 'public spheres'. Participation of women in scientific programes has been increased gradually, but the inception was not an easy one. And while some men were, there, by them; most were against such 'Scientific engagement' in their journey. The questions of women's right to work, outside domesticity, have been treated differently across civilizations, both in temporal and spatial sense of the term and colonial India was no exception to this. -Dr. Sanjib Bhattacharya (Volume Editor & Author)
