solution:--

by Indian women from 600 B.C. to 20th century. Imagine reading the poems of Buddhist nuns from 6th century and then reading a chilling account of a Hindi writer who was imprisoned by British government for demanding independence during colonial rule. One writer reimagines the classic story Radha and Krishna and gives it a sexual angle (yes!). Another writer worked on household chores from early morning to late night and then, to pursue her love for learning, she practised writing alphabets on the wall. She did this secretly because women were not allowed to read and write. This woman ended up writing many novels. One woman was a prostitute. One woman was the first female graduate from Bombay University. Many women were victims of child marriage and a lot of them became widows at a really young age. There is one thing that connects them all: They were rebels who didn’t let society’s oppressive customs and culture dictate them. Almost all of them paid a huge price for thinking differently and challenging the status quo. They all loved writing, more than the fear of alienation, and humiliation.

This book gave me goosebumps. I didn’t know the names of 99.9 percent of the writers in this book and that’s a shame. The Indian education system doesn’t really talk about these writers..as the society is still patriarchal.

Hats off to Susie Tharu and K Lalita for bringing these literary pieces together. Some of the writings are so rare, but these women are passionate about telling the stories of these courageous writers.

Don’t think twice. Just pick up this book because it is a piece of history. And if you can, PLEASE pass on this book to other people. Because it needs to be read. And it can seriously change the lives of young girls and women. And boys and men
