About the Book

Eighteen Women: Stories of Defiance is a powerful collection of stories about strong women who face daily challenges and resist the suffocation of conformity. Each story portrays a woman’s resilience as she fights against societal norms and expectations. These women are determined to carve out their space in a world that often seeks to limit them, whether by relationships, cultural traditions, or social expectations.

Drawing from real-life experiences and newspaper reports, Meera Khanna delves into the lives of women from different walks of life, some who defy stereotypes through drastic actions, while others quietly rebel in subtle yet profound ways. These women choose to stand up for their rights, make their own decisions, and accept the consequences with courage. Despite the struggles they face, they remain grounded in their cultural backgrounds, and their stories are a testament to the strength of the human spirit.

Khanna’s background in gender rights lends a unique depth to the stories, making them not only a reflection of personal journeys but also a broader commentary on the status of women in society. The stories are presented in a straightforward yet impactful narrative, designed to resonate deeply with readers. This collection is both inspiring and thought-provoking, urging readers to rethink the roles and expectations placed on women and to appreciate the strength it takes to break free from them.
