“Womaning is, simply put, the most important newsletter I read. Not a single edition goes by without me going into a thought-spiral. The posts are wonderfully crafted, full of stirring personal stories sprinkled with the kind of humour that makes one giggle but also drives points home.”
Sarthak Dev, Lines on The Grass
“Every post written by Mahima on Womaning makes me pause, think, and feel like I know exactly what she's talking about from my own personal experience or that of my friends and family. Womaning is the best newsletter out there on everyday experiences of women in India -- experiences that are so familiar to us but often come as a surprise to men, who seem to be oblivious of what women around them go through in a world designed for men.”

“Critical social commentary with unparalleled gif game. Everybody should read Womaning in India. Especially Raja Betas. (You know who you are). ”
