Description
This selection of fifteen stories by five of the best-known Bengali women writers (Ashapurna Devi, Mahashweta Devi, Bani Basu, Suchitra Bhattacharya, and Nabaneeta DebSen) looks at the lives of those women who are neither stars nor martyrs in the feminist cause. They are voices, individual and particular, and women leading their everyday lives, nursing their joys and sorrows.
