About the Book

This thought-provoking work by Sagarika Chakraborty challenges the traditional narratives around women’s empowerment. Despite the numerous dates and celebrations dedicated to women, the book emphasizes the sobering reality that for much of the year, women’s lives remain shackled by the monotony and hardships of daily existence. Chakraborty’s writing urges readers to confront the inconvenient truth that womanhood, in many contexts, is still cursed and trampled upon.

The book dives into the pressing need to reevaluate the real condition of women, going beyond the symbolic gestures of equality. It highlights the emotional and psychological toll on women when societal and personal expectations remain unmet and when life’s challenges seem endless. The author's profound analysis and reflections serve as a wake-up call for recognizing the struggles that persist every single day of the year, unmarked by the fleeting moments of recognition. With a keen eye for the nuances of gender inequality, [Book Title] offers an unapologetic look at the ongoing battle for women’s true liberation.
