Abstract: This article deals with the making of identity of women in the course of collectivt struggle, with particular reference to the contemporary radical left movement in Andhra Pradesh. The theoretical context of this research project is located in the tension between the structural ard psychological perspectives on human behaviour on the one hand, and the feminist and radical left approaches to women's political (public) identity on the other hand The relating, mixing and matching of these two pairs of differences, structural/psychological, and private/public, one close to the radical left, and the other to the feminists, show that there is some tension between them. The article focuses on the implications of this tension for an understanding of the identity of women who participate in revolutionary movements.
