Description
Women Who Dared is a modest but sincere endeavor to record the contribution that a few representative women have engineered in the socio-cultural landscape of the country over the last fifty years.
The readers will get a glimpse of the national's own biography as it is reflected in the lives of women through their brief cameo autobiographies. The anthology features women who, in their diverse ways, have not only left a mark of their own but in some significant ways represent the struggles and aspiration of the entire womenfolk.
