Women in India are many things. They are warriors and fighters, political leaders,writers, artists, and sportspersons. From running the country, climbing the highest mountain, defending India at its borders to fighting for equal rights and opportunities, they have done it all. DKfindout! Women of India is an exploration into the world of women’s rights movements that have shaped the woman and girl of today. It takes the reader into the past, through the freedom struggle and the battle for education and equality. In doing so, the book introduces children to the great women (and some men) who championed for women’s rights and led exemplary lives, dedicated to their cause. The book takes the reader into the present, highlighting the challenges women face today – stereotypes, beauty, violence, and identity – while celebrating those who have held their own and fought to make the country better. The book also offers a peek into the future by introducing children to the inspiring young women of today, heroes who enjoy challenging the system. The book also busts myths and stereotypes and introduces children to what equality for women really means. The DKfindout! series introduces children to a range of exciting topics in a fun, engaging way.
