Daughters are often caregivers – for parents, children, younger siblings – at a cost to their own dreams and wellbeing. The character of Nita in the 1960 Bengali cult film ‘Meghe Dhaka Tara’ is a poignant example of the daughterhood penalty, writes Reeti Roy. “People want love stories during times when so many horrible things are happening in the world” The global popularity of the walking collective 'Women Walk at Midnight' reveals how walking in public at night can be an act of reclamation and resistance for women in cities around the world, writes Anushka Roy. Our book of the month is Deepta Roy Chakraverti's new release 'Daktarin Jamini Sen'. Indian celebs are following Hollywood icons and launching their own line of beauty products. Hansa Makhijani Jain picks the best they have to offer. The character of Asifa from Banu Mushtaq’s award-winning book ‘Heart Lamp’ is a stunning if tragic portrayal of how continuous labour is the norm and rest is a privilege denied to most women, writes Dr Sapphire Mahmood Ahmed. Singapore-based software engineer and mom to a little boy, Sainy Banerjee shares how classical dance helps her navigate emotional complexity, burnout and self-expression in an impossibly busy life. Casually stated and disguised as concern, body shaming erodes one's self-worth and casts a long shadow on the trajectory of a woman's life and personal growth, writes author @arunajoshiofficial. Sujatha Balakrishnan, founder of the nonprofit Theatre for Change, shares her experience of overcoming gender barriers, blazing new trails in her 50s, and building a family based on love and commitment, not rigid social confines.
