A series of small yet significant events in one seemingly random week left Sahithi Chintakunta confused about her identity as a feminist. After a few conversations with her friends, she took to expressing herself through her writing and thus opened the door to exploring feminism in her life. Penning her initial thoughts has now unravelled into an honest and refreshing book about one woman’s journey against sexism, patriarchy and gender inequality. Using her passion for storytelling and her curious, empathetic personality, Sahithi walks us through the intricacies of her ideas and conflicts in an unfiltered voice. From wearing short clothes to facing taboos about periods; from navigating beauty standards to identifying her privilege - this book goes beyond the categories of right and wrong. With valid questions and sharp observations, it sparks thoughts and conversations about gender and feminism long after you have finished reading.
