One of my favorites !!
It used to keep me entertained as a child and know more about women's contribution in our country. I was so proud being a female (future woman) knowing about them and I really wanted to be someone like them! It is so motivating and inspiring! ❤️❤️❤️💎💎

Nice read
My daughter loved it. The collection could be made more contemporary though. Thanks Mr. Pai for this. Good historical narratives.

Neat book with interesting stories of women from India’s history of differing backgrounds. I like that it had a mix of women I’d heard of and ones I learned about just from this, and that they included a modern female hero in Kalpana Chawla.
As I was reading it, I thought I remembered that she’d passed in a shuttle disaster but I was still saddened when it turned out my memory was correct. Such a sad ending to such an amazing life (as was the case for many of these women!).
Women sometimes get overlooked and put down in our culture and I really appreciate the makes of this book for highlighting them with respect and care.

I learned to be a good citizen of our great nation and help develop it. I learned that we should even sacrifice our lives if it comes to protecting our beautiful country.

I’ve veered away from history books usually, even when it is in comics. But I was on an ACK binge, and this just went with the flow. I quite enjoyed the stories of bravery from women who lead their kingdoms/states in battles, and of course, I had already read the fifth story before, that of Kalpana Chawla. A quick, enjoyable read.
