This dataset is created from the book **"பெண் ஏன் அடிமையானாள்?"** (*"Why Did Women Become Slaves?"*) written by **Periyar**. The book critically analyzes the oppression of women due to societal, religious, and cultural factors and advocates for gender equality.

This dataset aims to make Periyar's thoughts and writings accessible for NLP applications, including text analysis, language modeling, and AI-driven interpretations of Tamil social justice literature.

## Dataset Details
