Madhu Kishwar
Review
Kishwar is known for her free, frank, and often controversial yet original ideas, accompanied by a threadbare analysis that consistently sets her apart from conventional academic discourse. Her work stands on a very different footing from the usual formal and professional approaches. This book is a treasure, offering a cohesive collection that provides continuity to her thoughts and insights. ? Indian Book Chronicle
