This book deals with the universal questions and dilemmas faced by women anywhere in the world but within a framework and a context which is uniquely Indian. The book resonates with the voices of women who have sometimes intentionally and sometimes serendipitously found their own truth amid chaos, hope in dark times, courage and love in adversity. From author Shashi Deshpande's quest to keep the writer in her alive through domesticity to Soni Razdan's brush with a dream debut to women who have lived many lifetimes in their kitchens and work places, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Indian Women is a heartwarming recipe for all those looking for a brimful of inspiration and Used cheer on a rainy day.
