SiliconIndia.com - Books: "A girl should walk so softly that there shouldn�t be any noise of her footfall. She should be so humble as to fit into a ring without disharmony.�
Her Story So Far showcases the most sensitive short fiction on the subject of the girl child by some of India�s finest writers�Phakirmohan Senapathy, Ashapurna Devi, Kamala Das, Indira Goswami, Amrita Pritam, Mrinal Pande, Pratibha Ray, Mahasweta Devi, Ambai, Ismat Chughtai and others. Compiled and edited by Monica Das, these stories cut across social, economic and regional divides to reveal what life is like for a girl growing up in India. And they raise a crucial question: will our society ever rise above its innate hypocrisies and change the way it regards its women?"
