Welcome to Litsy!

Brilliantly researched, accessibly explained so it can be understood by anyone, this book is a revelation. As a feminist, this book gave so much history, heritage and context to the feminist struggles in India and South Asia.

This was my pick for Women‘s History Month and it addressed the patriarchal issues plaguing women‘s gendered roles, bodily autonomy, economic prospects, desire, emancipation and upward mobility; and the hard won victories.

"If marriage is the end of life, how can it be the goal of life?"

Absolutely stunned by reading this gorgeous book with a gorgeous writing that energizes the rage, I hold in my mind against the set up rules for women, some of which I personally faced, after marriage as well as before it. This world is still a battlefield of sexes, where women have to fight harder, although being nominated as the weaker sex at the end of the day.

Narivad, behna, dheere, dheere aayi! Feminism, sister, comes slowly slowly.

Feminism is for everybody. Reading a lovely book I picked up by Nivedita Menon. Intellectual porn? Yes please. Right here; that's my vibe for the weekend.
