Though the blurb and the name of the book were enticing, I didn’t know what to expect from it. This book completely took me by surprise. It is an innovative way to pen a self-help book. As the name suggests, it targets women though it might be helpful for others also who feel compelled to obey and please others and cannot be assertive when needed. It takes us through the stories of the great and ferocious women in the Hindu epics and through each story, drives home an important message about taking control of your life and learning to free yourself from the shackles of oppression. The author gives relatable everyday scenarios and how to tackle them in a pragmatic manner. The book does not preach philosophy, rather it guides us and helps us to introspect and understood our problems better. This book has given me a lot of positive energy and I really felt empowered after reading this book. I have tried to follow what the author wanted to convey and it has helped to make a positive impact on my life. Any of you who find yourself in a similar situation will surely benefit from this book. I strongly recommend this unique self-help book.
