What does feminism mean to us, Indian millennial women? In our unique context, with a heady mix of tradition, family, ambition and Instagram, where does ‘revolution’ fit in? With candid, personal anecdotes, moving stories, and hard data, Amrita uncovers the invisibly seeped patriarchy from the intimate corners of our minds and refreshes the need for feminism in our everyday lives. Ranging widely over psychology, history, cultural studies and research with 100 women across age, class, caste and geographies, Everyday Revolution reveals the psychologically-denting impact of our gendered society. Smashing the patriarchy in our modern lives might not need expensive bra-burning but newer ways of coping, healing, eye-rolling and badassery. Therefore, across five themes – childhood, marriage, motherhood, beauty, and work – this book gives us thought experiments and writing prompts to do just that! P.S. Write as you read this experiential book and follow @everyday.revolution_ on Instagram to connect with a network of women in this desi version of Bluestocking Society.
