HerStory | Untold Stories of how Women Shaped India | Nikita Thakur | Invincible

About The Book
In historical records, little was written about women. Most researchers back then
were Western men, projecting a white male perspective on the past as well. One
of the greatest blunders that these accounts made was with the Indian woman—
she was thrown out of context, misunderstood, and misrepresented, leading women’s
history to be half-cooked, one sided and overpowered by His story. However, with
new evidence, accounts and studies coming in, things are starting to change and
Her story is also beginning to emerge. This book is a recollection of these accounts
that shed a new light on women and especially Indian women. It is made from a
standpoint acknowledging that everything was not gold in the past, there were
problems but not everything was bad too. Hopefully, with this book the reader may
learn of practices and people that were way ahead of their time, establishing
ground breaking standards on women empowerment, gender equality, sexuality and
equality in general.
